Hi Guys,
First of all thanks for the nice comments. As far as building the kit, it was not like the 'shake and bake" quality like Tamiya or Hasegawa but with a little patience it can be built into a nice model. I think the one of the tricky areas that I encounted were the assembly of the landing gears. You gotta be careful as some of the plastic in my sample were brittle. The tire threads on the wheels were overly done but I did not pay attention that much once it was installed in the model.
The area wherein I also spent some time was the tail section. It required some filling and sanding.
As for the decals, at first when I dipped them in water, they formed into a milky film and I was expecting them to disintegrate and tear up but they held on. I just spent a little more time cleaning them and they placed well in the model and reacted well with Solvaset.
To Jean Luc, I will see if I have enough photos of the build process.
Cheers,
Tony
