Mike GrantWow, that's a lot of work to make the clear parts fit the fuselage; kudos to you for your determination. I love the subject matter.

Frank RichterI continued a Little bit on the Martinet, after building up a complete interior (after I decided to open rear side door) I finally reworked the Position of the side Windows. The kit window spacing is even for all, whereas in reality there should be a larger middle section, meaning there is a front pair and a rear pair of Windows. In fact the rear Windows Need to be moved backwards, together WITH the door. Of course this is too much effort now so I try to "cheat" a bit by making the Windows shlightly bigger and mask them in a way that the effect of being two pairs is stronger.

Frank RichterAnd I also replaced the kit's exhaust stacks by some scratch build items to give them a (hopefully) more realistic look.

Album info
In the box the kit really looks ok, except for the typical low-fi short run Flash everywhere. Fit is somewhere between horrible and just acceptable. On the fuselage there is a miss of depth of around 1 mm. I don't want to ruin the clear parts by sanding so I widened the fuselage by adding a strip of plastic around the Joint. Lot of sanding on the bulkhead required, though. Instructions are more or less useless. Some good reference drawings but no help for construction..
