For better fit I sanded stand of front turret. After my previous build when I found on very end that front turret didn’t fits good, at this build I checked it earlier, before paiting.

After OD painting. Barrels was painted by brush on Gunmetall color. Finished by semi gloss clear X-35. During painting front turret had imperfection n painting surface, and I sanded it and repainted lower parts between gun barrels. I hope it looks Ok now. Turrets by Academy are not so perfect as in Hasegawa kit but I hope my work gives positive result.

Very first dry fit test of wings and fuselage. I want to Also check if it is possible to montage wheels struts after glueing upper and undersurfaces of the wings. Mabye 55g of nose weight will be enaught to avoid tail sitting.

Progressing nicely, my friend @lis! Let's hope the weight will be sufficient.

Looks great, Bernard @lis
To be safe, you might try to add some weight in the nacelles.

Time for wings. Some sanding and putty need to be used.

Wings has gaps on engine cowlings. I used liquid putty, CA glue, and long sanding. Panel lines was rescribed by hobby saw.
