Great job on the control surfaces! 🙂
I have an practice kit in progress based on an old Lindberg Do 335. The kits was missing landing gear and doors so I figured I was use the kit to practice new techniques. Things were going well but I had not test fitted the canopy and discovered it didn't fit so I had to do some repairs that got sanding use in the cockpit too. I managed to blow some out through the bottom but there is still a bit of sanding dust on the canopy.

Thank's rui and Spanjaard. I'm to scared to enter the cockpit again.But its indeed unfortunate. I should have masked it later.

Album info

This kit was bought by my mom for 0,5 euro's and she really thought she found something special. So I made it special and use this to try some things i never did before. I made a lot of mistakes but i also leared alot and i really like the result. But i still don't know why I did this to myself.

I was inspired by some other builder on reddit how was also building this kit. The scheme of this plane is based on a aggersor squadron and I used some spare decals to make it.

Mistakes:
Alot went wrong with the canopy. the glue reacted with the platic and I cracked the windshield during fitting and sanding. Also alot of sanding dust enterd the cockpit during the repairs of the fuselage. So my costom cockpit is almost not visible.

Also many panel lines aren't perfect. this was my first try on this scale and i became alot better when I was finished.

Modifications:

- New exstended flaps- New exstended leading edge slats- New ailerons- Old airfix display stand- Costom cockpit from syrine sheet- Added gun sight- Added spare weapons- Added spare droptank- Added spare antennas- Recribed all pannel lines- Added more pannel lines- Added centre pylon form syrine sheet
