Fitted 2 brass pins to support the undercarriage

The starboard wing joint is not good so I am stretching some sprue to fill the joint. Should strengthen it nicely as well.

Good work on an interesting subject. That wing root....yikes!

 

[fastmongrel]

Got the legs on and it's starting to look good

I have plugged the wing root gap it just needs a spot of filler

 

[Crimea_River]

Nicely done.

Probably a result of the twisted fuselage. I did think of slitting the fuselage joint and trying to straighten it up but I then thought of all the things that could go wrong. The styrene is up to 4mm thick around the cockpit and wing root so it's possible I wouldn't be able to straighten it anyway.

It's a fairly old kit early 2000s I think, not a patch on the kits Valom is making these days which are almost as good as the big boys.
