Hi Paolo,

Your F6F-5 is very nice, I like the faded blue color very much. That you see a green rim (of the interior) of the cowling, is a very nice touch.

Were you able to preserve detail after sanding?

I have this one in my stash. Looking forward to build this kit.

Thanks mate!

The point is, you almost don't need to sand! I've barely sand it and haven't use a single grain of putty! The very few imperfections I used cianocrilate glue to fix.
Cheers
