This started out as a fun destress build,turned into a struggle. I'm geussing this kit suffers fit issues by offering multiple versions of the airframe rather than retooling for each one. I get that, but each sub component needed filler,making for a lot of tedious sanding and rescribing. When I joined the wing to the Fuse I was impressed that it did'nt need any filler,especially after all the other bits did. My enjoyment was short lived as the port wing tip was 1/4 inch high. My fault for getting excited about the great fit and glueing the area before checking . I did find a work around without destroying the wing/root area. I used a razor saw and carefully cut along the seem at the wing bend , secured the wing ,pulled the tip down to the correct height and then filled the razor saw cut with thin Ca glue . I kept the weathering very light ,model master enamels followed with Testors Dullcote finished it off. The decals layed down nice after some Solvaset . The markings are for 2/NSGr.9 Italy 1944 . Thanks for looking cheers Trey
