Pay attention to the wing bottom to fuselage join at the rear, it's a less than desirable fit, and will definitely require some fixing and a bit of re-scribing the surrounding lines. Built two of these, and both did the same thing.

More bad news:

Just looked at my builds, and it seems the front join of the wing bottom to fuse is more of a bugger than the rear. Have FUN Posted Image

ahh, fuhgedaboutit. The rest of the plane builds super easy. You'll be fine. Oh, oops, there is one more spot on these jugs that needs help, there's a bit of a step on the top seam of the cowling that needs sanding too, but it's a pretty easy fix.

I did manage to give the dark coat on my commision FW190 (btw this is my first camo job with my Air Brush)

Yeah, and how many coats did you have to put on each color again? Not that it didn't look great in the end, just takes alot longer to get there.

Now remember fellows to tank your wife for buying Broccoli so you can scavenge the rubber bands of them !! these guys dont react to glue like normal rubber bands(to some extend)
