After shooting some gray primer I found a few areas that need a bit more attention. I did test fit the engines and cowlings and the fit seems okay. I have to credit that to Vector's good work. I should have the engines and cowlings installed soon.
Seems to be a very straight forward kit with things fitting well (so far). Looks like it won't take a long time to get it built and painted. I look forward to the painting on this one in the 3-tone scheme.
I just received the kit and, after looking it over, it looks pretty good (I got the RAF variant). The only "fly in the ointment" so far as I can see is the heavy rivet detail throughout. I'll put it in my stash for a future build.
LOL Phil! I just got a bit "uninspired" and decided the best thing to do was set it aside for a bit and work on something else. I'm well along on it but I decided to give it a short rest. I'll get back to it pretty soon (after I finish the Revell PV-1) which had been sitting on my shelf staring at me for a good while. It should go well with the 1/48 A-26 I finished recently.
