Nice one Pete, seems appropriate for GB too if you want :thumb2:

My son is doing one of these for the GB, and it looks a dream.

Cheers Fernando, as we all know I'm not a aircraft builder so I don't think so I'll leave it to the real wingy guys.

Good luck to your boy in the GB as long as he fun that's the main thing.

Cut off parts, place in box with glue, shake and pour.
Seriously, this kit is a beaut, and practically falls together. l had to build one for my work a while back, there was a giveaway promo thing, and I managed to finish in 4 evenings.

Thank you for the great modelling tip but I think I'll use my tried and tested method, Gaffer tape, Blu-Tack, nail gun and for fine detailing my trustee paint roller.

You can never beat a roll or two of gaffa!
And what other method is there for soft-edge camo than a 30cm roller, on a two-metre pole!

Oh, wait, that's only in 1:1 scale.

Looks nothing wrong with that finish to me Pete :thumb2:

Agreed, clean and precise from here....

[Steve-the-Duck]

And the completed fuselage just clicks onto the wings...
One thing I didn't mention, and superfluous now as you've left him out, is that the pilot figure doesn't QUITE fit

Um, wait a sec... Metal replacement gun barrels? Are you modifying to a later mark?
