This looks like it will end up in the bin. Started to place the glass in to the fuselage sides
. The sliding window glass isn't the best, ill fitting and has cracks in them.
The front foot well glass fits but there is a large gap at one end
and the main fuselage glass doesn't fit to well
BIN BIN BIN.

That's shame buddy, but you must prevail!
You will handle it, I'm sure!

Did you paint the instrument panel or is that a decal? Either way, looks pretty good!

I used the decals that came with the kit. They were a little thick.

Such great progress. Have you thought about using the kit for a
"Black Hawk Down" crash diorama?
