Greetings Nick,

First of all I can tell this has been a bit of a struggle for you. But you are doing better and better with each attempt. Decals are easy to touch up. I built the Roden version and she was a challenge. But now that you are at the point where it all starts to come together there may be a trick or two that will help.

Drill holes for the four fuselage to lower wing struts and replace the kit items with brass rod. I used an accelerator and super glue. Accelerators are availabl at any hobby store and just a tiny drop will make a any super glue joint bond like rock immediately.

Here is the thread and it may have a few thing you can use to help yourself along.

"Thanks for the reply Mr. Stephen Is there any reason to change the kit's struts to the lower wing??? Just ask Cheers Nick"

Nick, it is almost finished. You are building a very difficult kit and it you are going to get through it. I hope you take this build as an example for future builds. My goal is to build each model a little better than the last, and learn from each build. I think you will be building some great kits in the future.


An observation, people who are afraid of rigging build jets.
