I've closed the canopy and working on the landing gear. The fit of the canopy is very well. It is better than lots of quarter scale kits'. This kit is a must for the lovers of the scale. Highly recommended !...

I sprayed primary coat using Vallejo Black Primer first time. I liked it. Shake and use. It is easy to clean it with alcohol.
