My inbox review of the kit I'm building.

So I've made a lot of progress on this but not taken many pics, the cockpit is not bad some good detail, sadly barely any of it can be seen form outside. Construction of the kit was straightforward too, no real issues i can think of. The engine again is hidden as are the MG's but there are cowling panels you could leave loose if you choose to.

Wing root and wind to lower fuselage fit is great and just needed so light CA filling, the main seams that needed attention were on the upper front cowling over the MG's with two seams that need filling as its seam free on the real aircraft.

Now to get it all painted up, using the Ultimate Apex all round

Primed in Ultimate Black primer, then the lower surface sprayed in Tamiya XF-23 and the upper surface in Tamiya XF-67
