Thanks guys. Figured I had better post an update before I get too far along. The wings were a pretty good fit needing only a small amount of filler at the rear. The only downside to this kit is the sprue gates. Some of them are massive and if you are not careful, you nip off to much. Still and all, a very minor gripe for what you get.
I tried back painting the lights followed by a coat of chrome silver. They look great if you hold a flashlight to them, otherwise you can't see much. I'll try something different on the next one.
The first coat of paint is on. I will let the Sky dry for a day, mask and hopefully get the Extra Dark Sea Grey on Tuesday. In the meantime, there are lots of bit like the undercarriage and rockets to work on.
