    @fxrob Hello Felix! I think Airfix kit could be better than hasegawa, because of it is hot new kit. But unfortunetly Airfix don’t have FB.VI version. If You like we can build togeather as small group build.

    Next step is assembly of wings. I use 100 Gallons Fuel tanks under wings. They needs some liquid filler.
