JohnB Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Progress. I left out all the interior ducting and some of the unneeded engine accessories. Just more stuff to give a headache. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resisted buying this kit because it was Trumpeter. The nice surprise was that it's much better than I expected. Still not a Tamiya or Hasegawa quality kit though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied primer last night and, as always, some areas that need some additional attention showed up. Not a big deal though. Getting close to some painting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 John Of course, there always seems to be something we miss or a small redo. Sometimes in my zeal, I miss the obvious and only find it after the color coats are on and now, what a mess. So at our age, looke twice, take a day’s break and check again to be sure.
