The propellers are molded into the shrouds an look very bulky, so I decided to make my own proepllers

The air ducts can also use some refinement. First they were hollowed out

The Superstructures come a very finely detailed parts. But to use the MK1 PE set we have to cut them apart

The very nicely detailed PE mesh added. Everything fits very well

I decided to add the air inlets on the inside of the superstructure. Not very visible, but otherwise theres only one big void.

Thank you mates!
@Treehugger: It seems so. I have the kit I'm my stash for a while now. Can't comment on fit, but the details look good and I'm Shute one can build a stunning model of this kit with the use of the available PE sets. I also don't know of big accuracy issues. But this build is only about the LCAC. Not going to build the Wasp right now.
