The fit of the PE on the sidewalls will not work - I had to trim some plastic and glue them reversed... I hope no one will notice

Ready to close, you can see the bits of plastic I had to cut to fit the lateral PE from Eduard set

There are little pins at the back of the wing roots that don't fit anywhere; I've seen models that have a little holes in the fuselage to match the pins...

The pins prevent the wings to fully conform to the fuselage

Oooops! Wrong test fit... all ok now.

Yes. Most of the first part of the build is PE and ciano glue. :-/

1/72????? No way. Somebody may say that these detail correspond to 1/24. Excellent build so far.

I believe the figure is too small... or the model is too big... the proportions seem wrong. I think I'll have to drop the figure, after all the work painting it...

Thank you. I've added a separate album with the finished model and base. I kept the pilot. 🙂
