  1. Vacation time is looming around the corner. What better time then than to rip of the lid of another kit and get started? Nevermind the Tomahawks, Yak-23, Spitfires, Draken, FJ-4 Fury or all the other projects on the shelf of Doom... Yes, I lack all morals. But I am both married and vaccinated so I can do what I want! Seeing @Antb beating this kit into submission got me thinking "how hard can it be, really?" and despite a 75km cooling bike ride round the countryside I just couldn't get it out of my system. I had to start this! I want to glue things together, sand some filler, add even more filler and sand some more and so on. There's probably a psygologichal explanation for all this, but who cares? All excuses was chucked into the wind (and it blows to the east, as always where I live) so here's the box: This kit is now close to 10 years old, and sometime since the release the general verdict seems to have gone from nice but tricky to overengineered and crap. But I build short runs too, so who cares, eh? Somewhere in this box there's also some Quickboost exhausts, but that's the extent of AM-goodies. It's a Profipack afterall, etch and masks included ! It's generally a good idea to start with the office and follow the instructions. Not me this time! I'd like to start with the wheel wells, and as a result of that the engine nacelles. This is a known pitfall for this bugger so let's grab the beast by the horns and get started. Thera are a lot of tiny pins here... Seems to be made to snap off at a moments notice. No sure indication of wich way everything goes either, but I'm guessing the landing gear should be perpendicular to the ground and the wings should have some kind of V-shape. The instructions could be a little more clear here. A big difference when comparing this to Eduard Spitfires! The engine nacells also recieved a few lightening holes Then I shot some Xtracrylix RLM02 in general direction, hitting most of the wheel wells atleast. Next up, details, wash and assembly!
