Fit issues on lower fueselage, My mistake I installed the cockpit interior walls on the wrong side of the floor tab. I sanded them down as much as I could and still had a slight gap. I used Vallejo putty to fill it before priming

The instructions have u adding the main gears with the booms, I dry fitted and determined I could leave them off until after painting

Nice result. I just started the kit and am amazed by the quality. I am just not able the cram in 5 g of lead into the tiny front compartment. How did you do it?

Splendid result! A quick build, too! 🙂
@ Michael: Try placing some weight in the front engine nacelles or the wing. It just has to be in front the main glanding gear. I tried this 15 yers ago with the Revell kit. The ICM one is just smiling fron the stash... 🙂

Micheal Mirko is correct I packed the front of the engine cells with pellets of Liquid Gravity. It was just enough to change the balance.. Its a gr8 kit and zi am anxious for the D to be released in 1/72. Thank you both for the kind comments.
