I am expecting see it finished.One of my favourite RAF aircraft from cold war years. How it goes together? Any snags?

I haven't posted a pic of it cos it's such a tiny flaw, the wings don't join perfectly with the body and will need some filler. I thought it was me but I've seen a guy on Britmodleler with the same problem. Otherwise it's perfect. Really hope I don't screw up the paint. Gonna need a hefty weight in the nose though cos it definitely atail sitter. You got this one too?

Album info

Building this out of box (as there's no after markets for it yet!) and I'll be using Humbrol acrylics and sprays. Really enjoy cockpits so going to put a lot of effort in there. Not going for historic accuracy though, just making something that looks a bit realistic cos I'm no aircraft buff, I just love making little planes! Any tips and advice will be greatly received.
