    I added some wire mesh, twice, only got one bit right first time, too much super glue around the edges of the mesh so I recessed the edges of the openings, painted black inside the tail, tacked the interior to one fuselage side, then glued both sides together, getting there !

    Thanks Louis, the interior didn't fit as well as I thought, needed some adjustment, the fuselage needs some filling for the canopy to fit, not one of Italeri's better kits !

    I'm sure that you will get it all sorted out my friend... Some kits fight you a little more than others do... It will turn out great in the end.
