Cheers Guys, I'm a bit slow on this one what with injury and time constraints. I did manage to put an hour in yesterday but not that much done will post more soon.
 
A small update here. I've just completed the three sections that make up the wings and I must say that I'm somewhat disappointed with the results. Revell by cutting corners in providing a kit that will cover different variants. The result is that you have three sections for the wings which gives you three chances of miss alining the components. Where the two top sections meet you end up with a panel line that is so wide that you then have add filler, leading edge seams don't line up and the wing roots need attention. Anyway here are the results so far. On a second note two parts that are greyed out on the instruction sheet and supposedly are not for use should be fitted as they are the backs of the oil baths(see red arrows)they are on spru B-84A and spru A-26

While it shows not as bad as I was thinking it would be a line or two of super glue should complete the order,other than that Vaughn all is looking good Sir
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence guys.
I think maybe this thread is going to turn into a bit of a rant. I'm still working on the wings and nose cone but hopefully they will turn out ok.
As a distraction I thought I would have a look at the main under cart, maybe I shouldn't have. Basically they are made up of three parts for some reason it is split vertically with the wheel axil needing to be attached separately. Just take a look at the spru shots there is so much flash that the part is hardly visible. What are Revell playing at the detail is good but there seems to be some fundamental things going wrong. I've made an attempt at cleaning up the axil but some work is still needed. Rant over I will try to make the best job of it I can.

is this Revell stateside or of Germany? I always found Revell of Germany to do engineering on par with Hasegawa.Tamiya or Trump at a portion of the cost,strange.

I think the thing is that the overall detail is very good it's just the amount of flash that is a concern considering the moulds are less than a year old. I didn't post this image before but look at the flash around the exit for the exhaust stacks it was almost as thick as the surrounding plastic. Anyway onwards and upwards I'm working on the undercart so will post some more progress soon.
