Does this kit have fit issues or does it go together well? Also how did you do the rivets?

It has lots of fit issues, especially at the nose part, front part was sticking out for at least 1 millimeter on both sides, and it's similar below the wings. It also has lots of ejection marks on visible parts, like vertical stabilizators which need to be filled in. All rivets are done by hand one by one, you can do it with anything pointy really 😄 for reference I've looked at Tamiya kit haha

Haha well, it's cheap, so in worst case you can try building it for practice, but if you don't have thick nerves, better avoid it haha 😄

Hiya mate 🙂 I agree, beautiful result.
I have in stash also and I'm building the 'same' cat currently - the Revell Black Bunny version. Check my build out for some solidarity if you fancy! 👍😂
I have encountered many of the exact same issues. Especially the forward fuselage/nose section. I too ended up chopping stuff about! So can absolutely appreciate the work involved here, it's very much a task to get it anywhere near as presentable as this, great work 👍

Maciej that was literally my comment, "it can be build" hahah thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Thomas 💪🏼
Neil, thank you too. Forward was hell, but in the end I'm glad i decided to give it a try, my riveting skills improved a lot 😂
Guys again, thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it, can't wait to get those decals to finally finish it.

The result so far definitely looks like all the effort that went in was well worth it 👍
Looking forward to the rest of the build
