Alexandros MarinosA liitle more progress!I painted the cockpit and finaly I managed to close the fuselage.Some fitting problems to the joint with the wings, typical for special hobby, but with use of mr surfacer 500 and also a lot of sanding,I think I will manage to fill the gaps and eliminate connection lines.

Alexandros MarinosMore progress!
I have rescribed the panel lines that were vanished due to sanding and also made some extra rivets.Then I decided to proceed with the canopy masking. As you can see from the photos there was a major problem with the fitting of the canopy. I had read that the canopy fitting was bad but I didn't expect such a big problem. So I decided to fix the problem by adding a canopy frame made of ever green. A lot of sanding of course but in the end I think that I am satisfied with the result.So what do you think?

Alexandros Marinos2019 progress...
The canopy ready and glued.Then was painted with black because this is the interior color of the canopy.
Then the whole kit was primed with Badger ultimate grey primer and also sanded with 1500 grid sandpaper.
As the kit comes to a beautiful training aircraft I decided not to make preshading.So I proceeded with painting the whole kit with vallejo red 71.102 model air.
Next step was to make a light postshading to the panellines with tamiya smoke and finally another coat of vallejo red, and here we are!

Alexandros MarinosMasking for painting the white and then gloss model master varnish for attaching the decals!Attention is needed if you use the gunze softer because it is too strong for these decals and they tear apart. I have also added the engine exchausts and prepared the landing system.Wash was made with tamiya panel liner black and that's all falks.
