How well did this go together? It looks real nice from the pictures.

It is a very old kit so there is a lot of filler to be used. Also lots of sink marks to fix. I replaced all of the panel lines and rivets I sanded off fixing the seams. Here is a link to a Youtube video I made showing how I built this.

Great I'll have a look this afternoon, no youtube at the moment. I need all the tips I can get, been a long time out the game.

Nice little video, never seen the rivet tape before, what do you use to build up the rivets?

I use Perfect Plastic Putty for the seams at the stabilizers and wing roots. For fuselage seams I use gap filling CA glue. The rivet tape is made with a home version of a vinyl cutter. The cutter is called a Silhouette SD. It is mainly used for scrap book hobby. I use Alclad 2 grey primer.
