    I'm building this kit ATM, but with a different scheme. I'm surprised that you haven't experienced any fit issues. I've had plenty with this kit, the wing root fitting of the port wing involving lots of filler and attention was the worst I've ever encountered. I had to contact Revell for replacement of an absent decal sheet.

    Anyway, it's slowly but surely getting there. I also experienced some mistiness on the clear canopy parts after masking. I managed to tidy this up - polishing the panes with some lighter fuel on a precision q-tip. But given what you said about an application of Future I'm thinking I could maybe do this and improve things further.

    Anyway, I love your model. Great job!

        That is one very nice 110 Theuns. Love the weathering and camo work.
        Just one thought: When I researched a 110 build, I found that the aerial wire was strung only to the starboard fin, not both. It was backed by photographic evidence. I am wondering if Revell got that wrong in the instructions or whether some 110's did indeed string two wires one to port as well.
