Here we go.

Lots of small, fiddly parts. Just as I like it.

Cockpit is more or less finished

The PE is a nice touch

Mocking up the fuselage to see how the cockpit fits.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/8/4/9/1543849-31078-77-720.jpg)
And the cockpit fits great.

After the cockpit, the rest was easy. The fit of this kit is very good.

Turned out ok, some touch-ups needed
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/9/9/3/1545993-31078-91-720.jpg)
I used Ammo Mig and Tamiya paints.

![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/7/5/1556075-31078-45-720.jpg)
The Spit is finished.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/0/7/4/1556074-31078-47-720.jpg)
Still need to finish the base and paint some pilots.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/3/6/0/1556360-31078-76-720.jpg)
Started to paint some pilot figures.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/0/8/4/1557084-31078-55-720.jpg)
Finished the pilots and a very simple base.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/0/8/5/1557085-31078-78-720.jpg)
Both figures are of good quality and a pleasure to paint.

Thank you guys. Actually the most fun was to paint the pilots. They are 3D printet with very good details for 1/72 scale.
