    In the very beginning. Interior has a lot of details.

    I have the Belgian boxing - there's a lot of corrections to be done particularly the bomb bay doors.

    Not exactly fit problems - the bomb bay doors should be flush with the wings but in a brain fart Azur have them slightly raised.

    Great entry, Bernard @lis
    Looking forward to this build, it is still one of those aircraft I want to have in my cabinet as well.

    I made small progress with interior. Quite nice details, decal for IP pannel. Few drum ammo cartridges on wall as separate parts.

    The battle should be a really good kit, Bernard (@lis). This was one of those out-of-date airplanes that filled the gap at the start of the war. I always imagine the courage it took for the pilots to get into the cockpit daily and fight against a superior enemy.

    Now I think I know what You mean. But If You sand bomb bay doors You need rescribe pannel lines. I have some problems with main wheels bays. Nothing really big but seam are sightly visible in underside. Better way to glue all togeather and next painting on silver.

    I know what you mean - I'm going to do it on mine but I don't mind rescribing. The bump behind the bomb aimers panel also needs to go. That area was flat as well. With all Azur kits one needs to remove mold seam lines. Your kit is going together really nicely though..
