Work going on. However, after being delighted with the construction of the cockpit, the time came for imperfections. I don't know if my model is worse than others according to Murphy's law, but firstly, the windshield section connecting to the engine hood is a bit too high, and secondly, on the right side the cockpit is pushed apart, which visually looks as if the hull was too wide in this place. Next thing is fairing. A terribly thick projection of the injection mold in a very visible place at the top. I even had trouble separating it from the frame with a scalpel and had to use a polystyrene cutter. grinding and collecting the remnants of the injection mold with a scalpel took a lot of time and I'm still not satisfied with the effect. I hope painting will mask it a bit. Fortunately, the masks are included . probably the simpler Hasegawa model doesn't have this problem.
PS. I want to make red stripes on tail so I don’t glue it at this moment.
