Great result Andy, were the resin and metal parts a good fit/easily attach to the model/ok to paint?

Well, Guy, this was my first foray into limited run kits. Quite a challenge at every turn!
I went for a gear-up look as the metal u/carriage was very average-poor detail and fitting.
The plastic needed a lot of flash etc. removing. The rear 'chute housing needed modifying for the Argentine model, and you need to scratch-build a ventral fuselage fin, (plus antennae and fuel tank fins). Resin seat and exhaust pipes were OK and once painted looked suitable for scale.
The overall shape and surface details are good, and painting wasn't too bad either, however I wouldn't buy another- there maybe better III's in 72nd out there, perhaps?

Thanks Andy, it sounds as if you had a real challenge on your hands but, as can be seen from your results your perseverance paid off! 🙂

@Łukasz: only just worth it!, 72nd deserves an Eduard-style 'III....IMHO
