    usually my dad adds the main landing gear towards the end, but this time he already attached it because it is a bit complicated with some tiny parts

    I have been adding the gear on my builds lately too, if they will be painted the same color as the rest of the underside. I think it makes for a stronger glue joint, especially when everything is raw unpainted plastic to begin with.

    Looks good !

    thought that the remaining paint in the bottle would be sufficient...it wasn´t
    gonna wait a few days until new MRP237 Sea Blue supply arrives

    A pity you could not finish all, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Just a bit more patience required.

    rockets and stubs unluckily are one piece, did mount them that way and then cut off the rockets
