Thanks for commenting folks, hope that you enjoy watching this one. I didn't even think of fixing up the wheel well issues until I had already assembled the wings and it was too late to do it right.

I just picked this up for a few $ to have an easy build and wow, the molds are showing their age. Interested to see what you do with it!

Thanks John. Most of what I do with this will be paint work, nothing too fancy.

@Villiers, thank you sir. Basic techniques on this one- Silly Putty and Tamiya tape masking, plus Vallejo Model Air and Tamiya acrylic paints. So far, so good 😉
