Gary VictoryReally nice work Paulo. Some nice extra's. 👍
I'm also building this kit so please be aware of fit issues especially on the wing architecture has the tanks, weapons pylons and engine pylons really don't fit well at all. The EVS/ FLIR pods are a really horrible fit. I found sanding the mating surface of the pods to fit the fuselage a better option rather than lots of filling. Also the two 'Blade' like shapes on the lower side of the nose don't exist on the real aircraft has pitot tubes occupy that space.
Good luck with you build. Really looking forward to your progress.

Slavo HazuchaGreat project and build-documentation so far - went through it all in one big sweep and am seriously looking forward for more! 👍
+ all the lovely resin really does buff-up the appearance of the big bird! 😉

Gary VictoryReally nice work Paulo. What are you going to use to fill the wing gap? I used the kit sprue on mine. I cut some pieces down to size and sanded when necessary to fit. Being the same plastic it should weald ok.

CuajeteI agree with Repo. Resin dust is carcinogenic. Better to cut and sand the pieces inside a bag or not to handle them dry.
Nice progress, Paulo 👍

Gary VictoryReally nice paint work Paulo. Nothing on the wing fits well. Unfortunately you will have issues with the weapons pylons and the tanks. Im sure you will make a great job of it same has you have with the engine pylons. Top job Sir.

AlexanderVery nice outcome, like the paintjob and the size of that monster - it definitely was a lot of work but you mastered the fit issues greatly! 👍👍
