This will be an OOB build, brush painted with Revell Aquacolor unless stated otherwise.

I will only be mentioning any problems/issues or observations rather than a running commentary.

If using the decal for the digital display on the I/P it would be better to cut them into three sections as the decal is sightly too small to fit correctly in one peice, I ended up painting the screens as directed in the instructions.

It is suggested that 20g of weight is put in the nose, in the absence of Depleted Uranium, I packed out the fuselage with blue tack forward of the main wheel pivot point plus some BB pellets in the nose cone, a test seems to imply it should be sufficient.

Only a little filler needed on the wing/fuselage join, mainly on the forward 2cm.

After a couple of hours work looking Tyhoonish, a few seam lines to sort but overall goes together very well and I am particularly impressed with the intake area which while quite complicated has produced the most seamless intake I have managed on this plane.

I'm a bit circumspect about using tack for embedding weights, some brands contain solvent that can leach through over a period of time.

From my experience so far Blue Tac is pretty inert. Had some in models for several years now with no ill effects. Although saying that may just be tempting fate.
