There's a resin set available. Sounds like what you described

   Yeup, that's what the look like.

Yeah I know. There's no way to really fix that issue without getting that resin set. And honestly, on a model I'm not worried about it.

   I absolutely never meant my post as a pick. I TOTALLY underdtand the amount of work it would take to even bring a Kinetic kit up to true standard. I apologize it I appeared as a rivet counter....NOT MY INTENT. I was an Aviation Electrician on EA-6Bs and some observations just can't stay in my head.
     My Kinetic kit has inaccuracies as well and like you I don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

Oh it's all good. I didn't take it that way at all. I love it when people that have actually flown or worked on aircraft contribute to the thread.

Got the wings and horizontal stabs glued on. Some filling and sanding next.

NNNNNNNNNNice !

[Medicman71]

The scene of the crime has been cleaned (not that there was any blood on it).

[handiabled]

Nice to see this one again! I'm glad you are able to get back to the bench again

[jmarc]

[deafpanzer]

Good to see you back on it!

While I wait for time to paint the Super Hornets, I went back to work on the Prowler. Adding the PE seatbelts to the seats.

  Lotsa details in these cockpits and that includes the seats that you've put together here Mike. I haven't built much past WWII aircraft but absolutely love all of the busyness that these pits have.  Beautiful work so far brother.

Thank you! I actually prefer the modern jets.

Thats the good thing about having more than one project going at once. While your waiting on glue/paint to dry, or ordered AM parts to arrive for one project, you can work on the other...

Exactly! Although I have over half waiting for their turn in the paint booth and the others are in the "filling and sanding" phase.

Really looking impressive

Mike, that is looking very nice.
