well guys im going to build this kit in full, i was planning to build this OOB but im really worried about the colour of the lettering on the decal sheet, so im going to use the MONTEX mask set which includes mass for 2 aircraft from the previous boxing of this kit.

There's not a lot too this kit so this shouldnt be a long build, work has started on the engines and the crew

ok, next i sprayed everything that is in the interior, cockpit green and added the declas for the instrument panels, but as i began to build up the rear tub i found a problem

part 20 shown here in the diagram, is the wrong way around and the diagram is incorrect, as are the pictures of several of the parts. my advice would be to dry thit these parts several times before committing glue as the instructions are very wrong

Posted Image

eventually we got Bob into his tub, ready to the rest to be assembled around him

Posted Image

now charlies cockpit just needs the seat adding, but again test fit as again the pictures of parts dont match that well

STOP STOP STOP

anyone building this kit beware, the wings do not fit at all!!!! no matter what way you test fit, there are either massive gaps on the top or the bottom of the wings
