Thanks Carl. Yes, that seam can be a problem. I attach the rear halves separately to the fuselage halves instead of following the kit instructions. That way you can line it up better.
Thanks Kai. I've run out of room in my display cases so now I just have to put 'em on top and on wall shelves. I hate to do that since they collect dust, etc but I have no other options.
Thank you Peter. I'll overspray the prop with clear flat to get rid of that glossy area. This kit is practically falling together. As close to a shake and bake as you can get!
This one's been on the shelf for a good while so I think I'll build it now. Will be mostly OOB and as "Wairarapa Wildcat" using kit decals. Should be a easy straight forward build.
