Its a really nice kit.
Finished mine a few weeks ago:

Looks great Sören! I'm going to be doing the original Swedish markings version. 🙂

Due to being a particularly nasty tail sitter, this is on hold until I can get some lead weights to go in the nose.

It is, even with a lot of weight in the nose.
Best way to prevent this is with a base (from Coastal Kits for example) and glue the wheels on the base - Drill a hole in the base & the wheels and put a wire through it (from a paperclip for example) and then glue it with superglue

Oh... I don't have a base or anything like that, I was hoping I could just get a lead weight and put it in the nose. Will that not work then? 🙁

I thought I had enough weight in it (there was no space left), but the Tunnan still ended up as a tail sitter.
Maybe you have more luck with it.

Oh... I don't have much space either, I had to pull out the nose intake assembly so I could push weight through the hole...

Been away from the computer, so here is today's progress all at once.

Red highlights painted, lights and wheels fitted. Once the glue sets on the wheels it'll be ready for the first clearcoat!

Wheels seem to hold up, I have just applied the first clear coats. Once they dry it will be ready for decals!

Decals are all on! I'll leave them overnight to dry and then add the final clear coat tomorrow, before unmasking the canopy. Then it should be done!

Looking good, but you should really think about using some filler for the next kits - like Vallejo Putty or Mr Surfacer from Gunze

I mean the lines of the body, where you glued both parts together.
Best to see from the red ring of the nose to the canopy or on the bottom of the full length.
