sprues and stuff

and going to try the Hawaiian Air Depot Masks and Jig's for the first time, hopefully they work as good as I'm hoping they do
Also going to try their air intake and cockpit overspray masks using kraft foam and my silhouette cutter, as well as their alignment jig's

Beauty, Steve. Innards are insane. Parts are way nicer than the AMT kit I built years ago. I bought a large sheet of foam a while ago. No cutter so I trace around the wheel well before I put the wing halves together or around the landing gear doors. Used it on the P-39 door openings I just finished too. Handy stuff

Yeah I'm looking forward to it Geo
I've got a lot of Eduards in the stash but this is the first one I'm cracking open, so that's good to hear

I'm optimistic on the foam & cutter, particularly for making stencils for use on various armor wheels
if it's too much of a pain the trace method is probably a little easier and just as effective!

Looks a great kit
