A horror to get glued at straight angles.
Love the yellow 👍🏻

I have been tempted so many times to purchase this kit... Good job so far! Keep it up!

Thank you guys for your comments!
Just a little information, sorry for not having time to write down something earlier!
The kit started at April of 2020 but it was put aside because the fitting issues made me lose my enthusiasm and get bored of it.
So I decided to start it again at this period (yeap...3 years later...!) in order to take part in an Unfinished Business group build.
The fitting issues, especially to bond together all the exterior base parts...(as you can see at the photos) were a real nightmare!
I have upgraded the interior with evergreen sheets of plastic cards and put a lot of putty at the doors because the gaps were as the Grand Canyon!
The kit was primed with badger ultimate white primer (acrylic) and then sanded to gain smooth surface.
Yesterday was painted with Tamiya XF-3 (Flat yellow)- first hand. I have to paint it at least 2 hands more and I believe at the end of the week I will be ready to paint it with super clear gloss varnish!

The Ebbro kit might be the better option. More expensive too

Finally I managed to complete the kit!
After the varnish, I continued with wet sanding and then polishing procedure with Tamiya polishing compound (coarse-fine-finish).
Added the decals by Motobitz and for the end I polished the kit with car wax.
Please feell free to comment!

well, all considered it turned out really good! love the livery you found. Noticed some major differences with the kit I had (check it amongst my projects), and I did struggle with some parts but it didn't look as bad as yours perhaps! Good job!
