    Ready for clear coat. Anti glare pannels had a little imperfections on the edge because of shape of engines. What do you think about it? Repaint?

    Nice paintwork. A full repaint of the antiglare may seem a lot judging by the pictures? Would touch-ups not do the trick?

    I would basically "leave as is", my friend @lis. Looks good anyway.

    @airbum the fact that the corrections are usually worse than the first time is in favor of leaving the status quo. You would have to mask the whole thing in the color of metal and try with OD paint.

    @fiveten It is probably the best way out of this situation. Now I think it looks good enough, though not perfect.

    There was also a small failure with engine 4, the housing was detached, but I got stuck, now it has CA glue. at the same time, I slightly improved the geometry of the engine. The Airfix designed everything nicely, but decided too tight and really stuffing the casing over the engine block takes three more gray hairs. Cover after repair on photo. Also new shade of OD I used to paint. New in Mr Color Palette under number C304.
