This is amazing, Keith @greenterrorz
A display on itself.

Such things happen, my friend @greenterrorz Great remedy, though, never toss anything!

Thank you both! @johnb @fiveten

Definitely going through the “when life gives you lemons” scenario.

A-7 had significant issues with all the extra aftermarket parts I added.

I cut the wings to fit the gun bays exactly as directed by the Eduard instructions. Unfortunately, that seems to be wrong 😑

To fix this issue, I first shoved some sprue wedges in there:

Next I cut the wedges down to the right size:

Lastly I added a good amount of Tamiya putty:

D-9 with A-7

I took detailed photos of the rivets and panel lines which I’ll be adding back once I sand down all that Tamiya putty. I’ll be glad to get past the building stage and onto the paint stage on these.

Oh, my! This build is fighting you, my friend @greenterrorz 🙁
No big deal for your excellent skills, though, all looks excellent so far!
Looking forward to your next steps!

Time consuming job but the result looks excellent, my friend @greenterrorz! Looking forward to see both painted!

Sorry to hear you had so much trouble with that Keith (@greenterrorz). When these sort of things happen to me (and they do, more often than I care to think about), I tend to step away, then tackle it in small bites at a time. Each bite is calculated to make it easier to do the next small bite or to give me a feeling of accomplishment. I've learned the hard way that trying to fix it all in one go usually ends badly for me.

Anyway, it looks like you've recovered from the experience and I am sure once it's all painted, you feel even better.

Great correction done, Keith @greenterrorz
Pre-shading is done nicely as well, looking forward to the camouflage.
That fuel cart is really amazing, so tiny and still very detailed, well done.

I somehow missed your massive project, Keith (@greenterrorz). The 190 looks great, and all of the parts for the diorama will really make a memorable diorama.
