Ricardo, imagine this same grainy surface on the 72nd edition of this kit. I took a closeup of the wing and it looked, well, hideous!!!

Yes, the plane is very nice, although I got some nasty gaps on the fuselage joint on some point - not sure if it's the kit or if it was me...

I think it is the kit. I built the 1:72 scale version from Zvezda and faced pretty much the problems you did.

Thanks mates; @WhiteGlint, thank you for you feedback - always comforting to know it probably wasn't my bad modeling that caused the bad alignment! 🙂

It's the kit... As WhiteGlint, I am working on the 72nd kit, whose basic engineering was used in 48th scale kit and I see the same problems. My intakes look hideous so I will just finish it without much of a fuss.

Yes, a lot of Perfect Plastic Putty to remedy this; the fuselage (front to wings comparison) is also a little crooked, but only I can see it! 🙂

Thank you @WhiteGlint - the dirty part will come after, with some restrained weathering made with oils

Nice! I've been inveterate in this kit for a while. How is it to work on?

Thanks. It has some fitting problems between upper and lower halves; apart from that, it's ok, although not very accurate: a lot of missing panels and venting grid due to over-simplification; for example, the grids below the intakes are decals!
