How does it fit? Any issues?

Not so far, as I haven't glued anything yet...

Nice pick of a subject.

I had no major fit problems on the II Plus. If I had to do it again I'd thin down the intake near the open inlet doors though, because these don't look too good once built. I would open the airbrake as well.

Ooh. Photo 27. Nice tip, adding the thin bits in the movable exhaust ports. I think I will be doing that to my 1:48 Kinetic FRS1 Sea Harrier kit.

Treehugger, it surely gives that something to the kit. Especially when there is flat panel as Hasegawa does that.

How did you go from black instrument panel to all the knobs and switches painted? With your white pencil?

27 May 2020, 17:35

Tomislav Martan Författare
Actually, you do Łukasz. 😉
