Kit is really nice. Could probably have a better fuselage and wings fit, but no big deal - really fast build, that I'm doing while waiting for the paints of the F/A-18 and Mig-21 builds to dry! 🙂

I have had the same issue with getting the wings to fit. I had to use some sprue in the cockpit area to spread the nose to fit the wings. I have boxed it up at the moment and I am going to come back to it. Frustrated me so lost my mojo a bit on it.

Yes, the macro fit is a bit messy, but I think it is not as bad as it seems. Furthermore, the join lines are aligned with natural panel lines, so you can get away with a lot of messy repairs. Because of this, I used more Plastic Perfect Putty than I usually do, because it is quite easy to apply and clean with water, without much worried about sanding afterwards! 🙂

I like your pre-shading technique with the hard edges between panels
