Finally got the air intakes painted and the air intakes /trunks assembled .The fitt was really great on the model. Aslo got various other parts and the window sill painted and installed . I was getting close to breaking two of the verticale tall probas off . So iI decided to break tehm off and reaplace them with metal pins. They arent perfect but it works for me

Spruebrothers started carrying a new lne of mask by the name of ASK which gives You intrior and exterior mask or clear parts and wheels . Also need to decide on scheme. So many choices
