Can't say that I've ever heard anything good about this kit, but A) you seem to be making short work of it and B) there's no other option in 1/35, so to hell with all of the naysayers.  |

Yeah, I agree Dupes, I have heard that it is a bit crummy when it comes to accuracy, but as you said, it is all there is in 1/35 so it is this or nuthin'! Terry, one thing to consider which may be easy to fix is the sit of the landing gear. If you do a Google search for built versions of this kit, you will see that it sits way too high. It is almost as if they molded the gear legs in the unloaded (inflight) position. I think if you look into the gear and modify it to a more correct sit it may improve the look of the kit quite dramatically. Anyway, I have no doubt you will weave your usual magic and turn this sows ear into a silk purse! Cheers, Sam |

I will go back through my reference pictures and take a look. |
