The Dornier is being a right pain trying to align the fuselage sides

Not overly impressed

More on the Dornier, not really enjoying this too much

Kit is a bit thin and mating edges a bit on the thin side. Plastic is very soft

Both looking great, but the Dornier is my favorite!

Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints!

Great job on them both, looks very nice. Love both aircraft, but personally, the Dornier looks the best,
