Great work rv! The panels you haven scirbed, I assume they are missing on the kit?

@ Erik: the Mistral is a French license-built Vampire (F5), but with a Nene engine instead of the Goblin, and other details (ejection seat for example). So the airframe is quite different, with the vents and new designed air intakes.

Nicely done on your rescribe and correction efforts. Can't wait to see more.

I like your detailling efforts. How did you create the scribing templates? Scribing panel lines and access doors are still pretty much of a challenge to me.

Hello Michael. I used the aluminium from a soda can, scribed with a needle and then cut with a sharpen x-acto blade… few blades and attempts were needed ! 😉

I like your proceedings. I wanted to suggest a similar technique to solve your exhaust problem, but your way to sand it such that it self centers is way better. Gotta keep that in mind. And a late Thanx for your explanation.
