As always I'd like to thank those who offered advice, comments or just popped in for a look-see. Overall a very nice kit with a glitch in the lower wing/fuselage join but an easy fix. Fairly happy with my first free-hand camouflage attempt. More practice to get the demarcations tighter. I'll definitely buy another one down the road to be built as a "captured" subject

Might want to get a couple of bags lads. The kit contains the dreaded Dragon 190 with some fit issues. I've found a few builds that tell how to correct these. The instructions aren't very clear as to where to cut off the nose of the 154 to make way for the warhead. A very definite tail sitter. I'll have to see how much room is in the warhead and engine compartments for lead. I could only find one build and the guy used the Revell re-boxing. What's funny is the guy writes that the Dragon issue is a crappy Chinese knock-off yet it was produced 5 years prior to Revell's reissue. This may take the entire GB run methinks

Wait till you see what I have up my sleeve. I think I should be in the batty house for what I'm planing. I have the Monogram B-29 and all the Eduard add on's save the bomb mods. That's five sets, Interior, interior mid section, exterior, wheel wells, and seat belts. I gone mad.
