Vallejo must be smoking something if they call that Braun Violet and I think the XF10 is a bit too chocolatey. Needs to be cut with a green.

As for that site repeating Tamiya Instructions, be careful as I've found these to be off base a fair amount.

I'm sure the wife will take care of that before the year is out. Anyhoo.....on to modelin'. Started to paint the interior, pics later. In the meantime I thought I would get the under carriage and wells ready for paint and the first order of business was to get rid of Revells little joke.



...of course the photo picked up a bit of the copyright symbol and date. No biggie. I turned the lower wing half over to see if I needed to open any flashed over holes and noticed this...



....must be a laugh a minute down at the ole Revell place
 
I think Revell / Monogram staff must have a monthly meeting, which starts off along the lines of "OK guys, so where should we put the Copyright info on the next kit ? The customers are finding them too easily, and getting bored with the game."
 
Thanks Dr. Gnomey. Right......picture time. Letting the glue dry and then I'll weather this a bit. Note the clumsy rendition of rudder pedals and seat harnesses. Had I started this on time I may have removed these.



According to one build and a not very good photo, the rear of the I.P. will be visible so I added some wire



Before this gets mounted to the fuselage, it's glued to the top of the front wheel well bay and Revell wants one to drill a 3.5mm hole through a 3.5mm hole????????????????



This sucker is big for a single seater. How big you ask? Well I'll tell yas, as big as the Wyvern that is progressing slower than mole's a$$es in January...

I built this kit years ago under the Monogram boxing and don't recall any fit problems with the drop in cockpit although I did the duel cockpit version.
Here are some pictures I took of the 335 at the National Air and Space Museum/The Udvar-Hazy Center that I took a few years ago. Might be of some help to you
 
42 year old molds are starting to show their age...



Not sure what this hole is but I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong here...



...gonna go through my references just to make dang sure and then fill it with some stretched sprue.
