Thanks for the link Andy, A big help. Good to know I wasn't the only one who glued the IP section together before painting. Also noted that you never had an issue with the wing tips. Photo up shortly

OK, forgot the before pic. What I did was file a bunch of plastic off the top of the plastic lug (arrow) and managed to remove almost all of the step, top and bottom. Plastic card will be needed to fill the gap between the aileron and the tip

Not a drop together kit by the looks Geo, but I'm sure it'll look a million bucks when you're done.

Thanks Evan. I'm sure some of the small issues are self inflicted but I do like kits that require a bit of work to get the right look. Makes one appreciate Eduard, Tamiya etc. all that much more. Anyhoo....gap filled and sanded

That's the attitude. Look at the money you save.

Yep, first release but I'll use spare decals to do the markings on the box art of the second release just because they are different.....7B⦾V

Hopefully done with this now. Been busy with the wing/fuselage fit. Lots of extra plastic to remove

Looks like you have a reasonably snug fit George.

A bit more work is needed Vic. I photo'd it from the best view
