Progress has been slow but steady.
Follow the kit instructions and glued the fuselage halves. Fit is actually much better than I remember from the last F/G Hasegawa kit I built.
Stabilizers also trimmed and assembled without fuzz. Putty is minimum
The lower side of the wing was cut from the spruce and after cleaning the gate points I also found that the fit is perfect…humm pleasant news so far
Where the fit is obviously not good, far from it, is the engine covers
Now this matches my memories eheh
A large gap located in the first half of the joint line will demand some plastic strip being added.
Some progress also on the resin tube
. The pilot figure is a tad big, so I’m still considering the route to go here
