Silenoz Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Wow.. that's some sanding that will be necessary... The Zvezda kit looks like Meng or GWH when looking at this (Who had thought somebody would say this about Zvezda 10 years ago...)

Dads203 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Have you test fitted the rear canopy yet Rick , it needs a bit of fettling to get it to sit correctly, I had to scrape quite a lot off the bottom to get flush where it meets the rear cockpit bulkhead/turtledeck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
