Cockpit finished. I want to use the the revel part for the Instruments, but somehow it was lost in the depth of my floor. So I used the PE part. Had to adjust it a little bit

This kit was my reintroduction into the hobby back in 97. Build OOB and colored by brush. So I am anxious to which level you lift that little bird.

Impressed with the challenges you have taken on, and clearly successfully dealing with the tiny PE parts.

Nice paint job so far, like the interior 👍

Good work, but I think 1mm tapes are a bit wide, especially in 1:72. Aizu has nice tapes with 0.4 and 0.7mm, but those are a bit hard to get in Europe, but cheap at HLJ for 1,22€, compared with the prices at Ama... or others:

I use them a lot although they are not always properly precut.

Of course a cutting plotter is always an option. I made also stripes to mask the area between the ribs to create rib tapes by using of some layers of primer. With pieces already at the correct length that was a relative quick masking job.

I tend to think the same about myself trying to play with PE 1/72 frets. Great work, keep it up, MGs look grand 👍

I'm about to throw the model against the wall. Revell's matt paint gave the model a milky look. One of the struts broke when the upper wing was put on. And the struts on the cockpit don't really fit. I should have assembled it first and then painted it

I don't know why got the dumb Idea to use Photo-Etched parts with such a small size. I must be insane.
High respect for everyone who can work well in that size.

The PE Parts are not for this Kit, so i think i will use everything I can

I stopped the project for now. I put the model away and may get it out again when it's less frustrating. The current setbacks only make me want to throw it at the wall
