I have been working this one over since I finished the Tigercat .The copit has taken some time paint is Mrhobby lacquer(seems a bit green for RLM02) and the dressing is Quintas liking these guys more and more.I am not far from buttoning up the fuse all in all probably 20hrs in this area when said and done.I still need to finish the cannons underneath the radio area.The fit looks good thus far right were it should be got to get some lunch 1:30 now been at it since 8AM.

I thought I drop a pick before the airshow today at Keesler.The LG assembly according to the instructions was poor without clear indications of the manner position said pieces.I found it necessary to build the A-arm on roof of WW and move out from there.The instructions had one build the whole LG outside the WW and position just did not happen I had to disassemble the first and start over being wrong.The engines are basic.The nacelles around the engines again poor instruction to locations via pics presented.I found it best to assemble everything to the lower wing,install engine/WW,assemble wing and build the upper Nacelle into place.I still needed filler but nothing major.The fit of the wing looks good thus far what you see Now is not glued.The LG final assembly was the high point of this area and to me very Nice and strong.

I have gotten a little accomplished over the last couple of weeks been working out of town turning 10hr days into 12 but that seems to be finished for now.The cowls on the other engine a bear as much as the first requiring a little more filler than the first.....maybe I should of followed the instructions version of assembly but I hate to put on the exhaust before the paint.The bomb rack under the fuse while the holders for the sway of the bombs have locating pins no holes in the rack or were to drill I look at the pics drilled and applied.The wheels are not glued in yet just there and That's the correct angle for the main LG had to go look that one up.The copit with the Quinta's is a Nice combination worth the few extra bucks.Guys RLM02 for the main bombs can never remember for Luft A/C?I have no filler for the upper wing joint and could almost forget about the bottom but I will pay it the little attention that is needed.The build overall has been quite Nice to me I give the fit 85/90 and the instructions 75/80 with the engine nacelles being the worst part of the kit ditch the engines and drop in a plate for the exhaust would be my solution if a redo should happen.

Thanks Fellas it's been a fun build thus far let's see if my painting is up to snuff? ;)
 
Getting close to the finish line fellas.The paints are all MrHobby lacquers and slowly learning the curve here if paint builds up on your forks of the airbrush it's to thick.I am thinking that these paints thin out like 60/70 thinner?

I hope she comes through with some approval from you guys I'm thinking when all said and done she will be a smart looking crate.

I think the yellow is a bit bright but no RLM04 was to be had this is Tamiya's yellow and not RLM04.
