first full surfacer session - mixed feelings as always

windshield, molded together with a thick "lip" - part of neighboring fuselage. Poor fit and Swords weird engineering...

Misawa rescribed, attachment point remade to the version without aerodynamic "sleeve"

air intake vents improved (at least a bit). Area in front of instrument panel completely remodelled with plastic strips and big dose of thick superglue. - original part is too short and has a wrong angle, resulting in wide gaps.

grafting windshield - worst part of the kit hands down.

After various plastic surgery disasters, kit is finally in its base alclad coat.Especially the partial riveting didn't end up as I wanted, but overall, me vs. kit = honorable draw I would say 🙂

lot of stuff still in various stages

first colors... the blue should have a hair thin black outline. I will try to find suitable decals. Tail is fine, but nose would be quite hard to mask.

almost all the little stuff is in Alclad. Just the canopy and some little u/c struts are missing.

decals at last! they are very stubborn, repeated Hypersol treatment softens them a lot, but they still don't copy the panel lines...
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/6/0/223360-16002-64-720.jpg)
btw the black outlines around the blue trim were taken from an Airfix Swordfish decal sheet. It's just that line which divides decal options 🙂 works perfectly.
