First step : Dry fit of the fuselage and engines 

The Quickboost's resin fan fits well despite being studied for the Hobby Boss kit

Second step : fitting the Aires cockpit. it is not perfect yet but it will be .. the gaps will be covered by a p.e. Also the i.p. lid will be replaced by a resin part that include the hud

Hi @1903flight , sorry for the delay..

The kit includes two different decal for the instrument panel , a "bump" behind the cockpit hood and the T shaped antenna behind that for the A-10C.

For the A version there are different gun vent covers not provided for the C version.

I still have to understand what other differences there are but in the kit are not mentioned

Hi!

Just a little progress : 

Fuselage halves glued together , engine sub-assembly done with Quickboost fans

 

Engines, wings and tail are only dry fitted
