Kit goes together well. Enough hatches can be posed open or closed giving ample option for Diorama scene.
No Figures with kit and I cannot find any at my local Hobby Shops... :scratch::

Next is my clear parts - lots of em' and a bit of filler needed on the rear section (will post a shot once cleaned up and ready for primer)

Thanks for the comments guys :th:

We are now ready for primer... a little Maskol on the windows and filler on a few gaps.

Image

No real gaps on the front but I needed to level the join a bit

Image

2 small gaps to fill on the either side of the rear joins
