Following. I was curious about this kit so it'll be good to see you build it.

Welcome Roland and Nathan. @ Nathan, so far the fit stinks. Huge gaps at the wing roots and on the belly where the wing joins the fuselage. I spent the day applying putty. But nothing I can't fix. The drop tanks had no gaps at all, just little dings where I went to deep, trying to remove the sprue gates. Plastic is very soft. The instructions are kind of a mess. Part numbers on the instructions are wrong in some places, so you have to look at reference photo's.

Call this thing hose nose. The nose did not fit well at all, it was about 2mm to big. So I put the worst on the bottom and sanded away. I then had to add putty all the way around. The nose had the lines on it like the F-16's do, needless to say I wiped those out. I will try and use fine fishing line or stretched sprue to replace them. I do not remember my Kinetic A-6 Intruder being this bad. I took some pictures, but have not uploaded them yet. Will do that soon.

Thank you Augie and Guy. The decals are all finished, and I applied the wash today. I will let it sit untill Monday as I will be busy with other stuff this weekend. I will start final weathering, and final assy. then. I will try and get some pictures sometime this weekend if I can.

Nicely done Clifford. 👍
I have the Italeri re-boxing of the same kit to put together at some stage.

Thank you very much Vincent and James for your kind words.@ Jamees, I have 2 ESCI "C" models in the stash, which I have gotten every aftermarket goodie I can find for them.

Nice work there Clifford. You gave me the inspiration to crank up the ol' airbrush tonight to finish out that A-7K I've been working on for far too long.

Thank you very much Nathan. That A-7K wouldn't be the Hobby Boss one would it? I have that one also. Looking forward to seeing yours.

I'll be waiting Nathan. @ Maciej, they will be coming soon. Next project is an F-5B by Kinetic. It has been in my stash so long the box is smashed flat, it looks more like an envelope than a box. Lol.
