Had no problem with aligning mine Don the trick is to NEVER EVER EVER EVER (ah well you get the point) follow academy instructions but rather assemble as your own logic tells you to.I built a mig 29 a while ago (also academy) and according to all the online reviews they are filler queens I didnt use a single drop of putty on mine.Just takes a bit of planning.

LOLat last its done not as neat as I would have liked it to be and also managed to cock up on the paint job as I decided to use acrylics (a very first for me and I dont like it).decided at the last minute to rather do Uncle Cy's Angel instead.

Well here the pics!

As you can see the clear coat and clear fix is still wet!

Thanks DOn couldnt have done it without you and the rest of the guys mate!Glad you all supported me throughout the builds!Still hoping to see you in the Mustang GB.Strange thing is that I actually hate the Mustang but seeing as it was a very nice excercise in purpouse built engineering I like building them none the less!Go figure.

Mustang = as functional as it's ugly.

See you there. Shaun. I just sent away for decals for an Egypt based Mustang III in desert colours.
