Got this then other week off ebay and was at a loose end tonight waiting for paint/decals/varnish to dry on my other kits sp thought i'll make a start on it.
in this end opening box are three sprues of light brown styrene and one clear sprue with the canopy (closed only)
The instructions are on one side of a sheet of paper
Decal options are for US or GB
On checking the parts i found that this bird had a broken leg so will be make with gear up and in flight
The cockpit is basically a floor, seat and control stick (which i forgot to photograph. this then fits into the fuselage from underneath once that is put together
this showed up a problem, a gap between the seat and headrest though i've a feeling one the canopy is on you wont be able to see it
when the wings where fitted their was a slight gap on either side and the roots so i strapped it up with tape whilst the glue dries.
Last job of the day was to paint the pilot, Once painted i gave him a bit a "wash" to try to bring out some detail
thats all for today.
