Looks really good Glenn. I've now built a couple of kits from Eduard and, like you, am generally impressed with their quality. I have found, however, that they tend to get a little too cute. My Bf 110 was supplied with exhaust stacks that totalled 28 pieces, with each exhaust stub individually molded and needing to be glued onto a manifold. I'd rather they left them as 4 individual pieces and spent time on finding a way to hollow them out, like Tamiya can. I've not experienced the mask issue though. My 110 and Hellcat came with the yellow masks that resemble Tamiya tape and I've had no problems at all.
Anyway, nice job. Hope to see more like it!
