Album info
First build after a long hiatus. Forgot most of my skills, especially decaling. The kit had some minor fit issues where the wing assembly meets the fuselage. The nose was modeled with fixed open landing gear doors so I had to cut those off and tried to fill the gear bay with putty, leaving a noticeable depression. The base color and camo color were notated in reverse in the instruction manual. I still can't figure out how to trim flashing off of long, round, thin parts like pitot probes. I can't stabilize the part to sand it or cut the flashing off. Hung the model up in my office.
