Hi George, excellent work! Was it difficult to use the Aires flaps on the Revell kit, because it was made for the Tamiya kit?

Wow!!! Having started building this kit a while ago, I'm impressed by your results. Although very finely detailed I found the build to be very fiddly. The parts have some fine flash but if you clean that up too much you'll end up with tiny gaps everywhere. Amazing how you pulled this off!

Dear Peter. Yes, it was difficult. The fit was not perfect and even with a lot of fettling, the angle means that the flaps interfere with the tanks if you try to fit them. I think it's worth the effort and I'm not entering the kit in a competition. Thanks to you both for your kind words though.
