    Been slowly working on this one, plenty of gaps to fill, but on the good side of this kit, the connection points are panel lines on the real thing.

      'Seams' like a lot of extra work Ian, but looks like you're doing fine, good luck and cheers

      Good stuff so far Ian. Lots of filling to do, but still the fit looks much better than the kit PJ and me did.

        Thanks Dave, it is going together quite nicely, even with the gaps. Thatโ€™s part of modelling I suppose.

      The poor fit is certainly a challenge. Best of luck Ian.

      This is certainly making you work for it, but you have what it takes to lick it to shape.

      Moved on a little with this one, got the gaps filled and sanded, needs a little more fine sanding, also painted the exhausts.

                Underside paint job is excellent. Preshade has worked well.
