Not really, even cutting it with good stuff, I still woke up with a hangover, and I'm not prone to them the small amounts I drink.

Well I filled the Formation Light holes. I am not that surprised I missed the detail on the instructions, it was right there in my face.... "Please fill these f'n holes"..... yes, it even stated Please! just a bit of finish sanding and it's ready for paint. I'll cover the plane with clig wrap and tape the openings, both sides.

I just punched a hole in the tape for filling and filing, glued in a dot from my hole punching of styrene, rough finished the hole then taped out the panel for finish sanding and painting.

Ummm... yes there is. Bill, sorry mate for the lateness, but you need to fill in the scallops directly behind the exhaust as well. There are parts for this on the sprue somewhere. The scallops were E, E-1 model only.

Cheers

Looked closer at the instruction sheet and Hasegawa say not to install those teardrops in the exhaust area. They definetly got that wrong.
