I'm in... it seems very familiar somehow... for such a nice little kit, it does take a surprising amount of putty to tame. Great work on the cockpit. I shoved a pilot in there so there really was no point, but it's nice to see the details come out.

Thanks Greg. Yes, I wouldn't expect fit problems from Trumpeter, but in this case there is no way around a generous amount of putty.

I had to hide some LED wires in mine, so I knew there'd be some putty work, but I was surprised because closing the wheel wells wasn't the worst part. The nose bugged me quite a bit.

Yup, I'm surprised as well; after first sanding, moving now to finer Mr. Surfaces 500...

Olá Jorge. Não pús porque não há espaço para por, mas o kit traz um Kettenkraftrad a rebocar o avião, presumo que por esse motivo! 🙂

Decals applied; a find them a little heavy (contrasted), but they conform very well

wow... that's a very smooth build. I know what this kit has to offer, and you seem to have taken all of it. Nice work!

Thank you Gareth - I went in with another round of scalpel and Microsol, sprayed some MRP Gloss and I'm now waiting for it to fully cure

Thank you Lochsa - indeed, this only took me a few hours to complete so far, even with the scratch made on the gun bay 🙂

Just noticed the scale...wow even more impressive! I've just completed a 144 A-10 Thunderbolt...fiddly!

Excellent work Ricardo. Your process is similar to the one I use. 144 sclae is a challenge for the eyes!! Parabens! abracos

Thank you Micky - I wouldn't say challenging for the eyes... more challenging to the hands! 🙂

It's official: it's tail sitter! The Kettyen isn't enough to hold in place, I will have to setup a base and glue it to it

Very nice Ricardo! Did you built the base just for this model? Or is it a multipurpose one?

I bought it from a modelling shop just for this model; I glued a grass paper from train diorama supplier on top of it, drilled a hole for the brass tube and that was it 🙂
