July 22, 2024Assembling the gear bay, I encountered some fit issues on the rear gear bay in which involves several CA glue applications.19

July 22, 2024Final assembly of gear bay and started doing the ordinances. painting it in what I thought live munitions.21
July 22, 202495% done.22
July 22, 2024Final assembly with all ordinances.23
July 22, 2024This Project is finally closed! I had some reservations about the kit fitting on some parts and prominent mold lines in almost all parts! I had many 'whoopsies' on the process from decal applications where I lost some on the process in which mostly due to my lack of refined technique. Assembly on the crucial parts like wing root, canards, and many delicate parts must be noted. Accuracy of the real thing is probably alright but not the best one out there. My personal rating would be an Okay kit in 6.5/10, nonetheless it is alright kit as long it is done.24
