Welcome and greetings from Oostende.

Hi all, Joining with this ...
-
Hi all, Finished in just two weeks. But that's only because I don't spend much time on internal detail. I only used the US markings. I rarely add codes to my build,unless it's for a certain era and place in a group build.
-
Then we are with bad luck. Others told me that their canopy fitted perfectly.
-
Does your canopy fit nicely onto the fuselage ? Mine is molded to wide with a 3 mm gab on each side. I fear it will crack if I force it when glueing in closed position. But it also doesn't fit in open position.
-
This got three coats.But the flash makes it look lighter. I shall try to get better pictures when finished.
-
The engine and pannels went on perfectly. First coat of Revell enamel midnight blue. Sanded with a kitchen sponge,ready for a second and maybe third layer.

I only had to paint the front of the engine. So,this didn't take to long to build. The pannels all went on without any problems.
-
Dryfitting the parts of the engine also showed that problem. Will have to do some sanding to make them fit.
-
The one not in the instructions is also a centre line drop tank. I think.
-
The wings are done. Why does the kit have two drop tanks,but only one in the instructions ?
-
Thank you. It's not a difficult build.And it's fast because I don't have to paint first. It won't be the same speed for the fuselage and engine.
-
Progress so far. The inside doesn't have to be painted as I'm going for a closed build.Only the wheel bays. Also did the cockpit parts that go in the same colour. The flaps are dryfitted.
