Seems were filled with superglue, this process is fast and there is no danger of sinkmarks. Of course now some panel lines need to be restored.

The wings needed to be cut in order to present the wings in the "folded" position.

The area around the nose gear is the most problematic - here some extra work is needed, before the painting.

Here are the first impressions of my current project. The F3H-2M Demon from Hobby Boss. I also install an Aries cockpit and Aries electronics bays.

Welcome Robert, thanks for your interest.
Today I assembled the wings and the fuselage. The fit is mediocre, here some Acrylic Putty will help.

Following. I have the same model in my stash so I'm very interested in your final result. So far it looks very nice 🙂

Thank you Maciej, nice to have you there. It's fun to build, the kit is fine. However, there are some areas that require a bit more attention, which means the fit is worse than what I'm used to from Hobbyboss.
