Here is some tip for those who want to build this kit with wings folded- This part is not explained in manual. In order to fit folded parts to center wing section two small flaps in wings upper surface must be cut and posed in open position ( similiar to one such flap in corsairs). Those flaps closed automatically when wings was in flight position.

Great build my friend. You did your research but what happened to the vacuform canopy?

Thanx Trez!
I never finished it to 100% since some polishing and more painting is required: Mostly fixing too much transparency on white decals. So currently its "drying" on the shelf and waiting for last touches. Vacu canopy is finally on place in open position. I have spare vacu canopy for Spit Mk 22... Biggest drawback in this kit in uncorrect air intake under engine if you will build Mk 47.
This was a first issue so decals was pretty bad- too thick and wrong in register, and worse red stencils without white layer so red is completly tranparent...
Same kit from later issue have perfect cartograf decals... Otherwise nice kit with some lesser issues. If i get newer boxing i will gladly build it again ad Mk 46.

Hi Sadek, how about scraping off the decals and using stencil? Regardless, just remember that not all kits fall together and the idea of going into a difficult build is to continue and come out the other side a better modeller!👍🫡
