overengineering.

you might think that i'm talking about the huge trench at wing roots but it ain't just that, observe the engine side covers and especially the single run top side of the nose which doesn't have anything to positive to hold on to nor provide any rigidity at all, everything is all over the place...
the idiot who designed the kit was obviously confident in their abilities, big huge kudos to bronco for the transparent engine covers 👍.
however this will be my first and last of this brand, f them...

primer on and buffed. unfortunately the engine had to remain hidden, i couldn't find any feasible way to build the engine covers open or poseable due to them being the only thing holding the nose shape together...
time to look for errors and rescribing lost panels and rivet details.

anything and everything that could go wrong with scale aircraft modelling did very successfully go wrong with this particular build, a testament to the cluster* that is 2020.

main canopy was loose ie it didn't conform to the fuselage at all; had to use hairdryer to reshape to a certain degree without bursting the clear ps, then manhandled with ca+acrylic hence the fog...

this entire time with my scale modelling i have not once lifted paint during wx, well another first, them patches on the wings are not intentional!

Neuling et Roland much appreciated but it was a definite mojo killer, for real!
