There are little pins at the back of the wing roots that don't fit anywhere; I've seen models that have a little holes in the fuselage to match the pins...

Yes. Most of the first part of the build is PE and ciano glue. :-/

I believe the figure is too small... or the model is too big... the proportions seem wrong. I think I'll have to drop the figure, after all the work painting it...

Thank you. I've added a separate album with the finished model and base. I kept the pilot. 🙂
