Sadly I didn't take more pictures of the cockpit before I closed it up for painting, I should be ready to start painting the plane now.

looking good.

The kit is missing I think most of the chassis parts, the entire frame is missing. The rear body panels are also missing, as is the seat and engine. I will try to see if I can get replacements from MFH but since it was bought on ebay I doubt it.

It seems like most of the interior parts had been used by someone in a build, so the remaining parts are mostly the exterior cowlings.

I painted the cowlings today with Number Five Fluorescent Bright Orange and Number Five MP4 Red, the Tamiya mask guides helped but even though I used a plotter to cut them, they seemed to be a bit too small/didn't match the shapes perfectly.

I added decals to the cowlings, one of the repsol decals broke on the side cowling so I had to repair the "R" and "E" with a spare decal in the set. I need to cleanup the interiors before clear coating.

Watching.

Yes…the wings are very heavy and the moulding lines problematic. Mine have had to be reattached a few times, so I'll be interested to see how you fix them to the fuselage… the elevators are also fragile and the styrene is quite soft, so a brass insert is highly recommended! I didn't do it on mine and the elevators droop slightly 😕. Anyway…keep me posted on your build!

I finished the front landing gear bay and the sidewalls on the fuselage, I'm ready to seal in the cockpit.

Mr James
Agree with Rob, insane detail

Yes, that bottom half. No idea why Fujimi did it that way.

Mike Thomas
Well done, sir!

Lovely work.

I found this kit on ebay but it's not listed on the MFH website and it's very hard to find anything else on it.
