cheers Q.

Hi Quinten,
I have this kit but its too big to build and take home, so it'll have to wait till my return.

I have seen a build report in a magazine somewhere.
I'll try and find it if its here in Saudi with me.

Cheers

Hi Quinten...
found it.
There,s a build report in Scale Aviation Modeller I nternational magazine, May 2004 issue.

I could copy it and post on to you.

If you'd like a copy pm me your postal address.

Cheers
Peter

Hi, I've just started the kit, I’m currently painting the interior. One or two things that I've noticed are:
1. it's big.
2. my example has a lot of sink marks, but as most are on the interior you can't see them.
3. it’s big.
4. After checking the big parts, fuselage and wings. Fit is good. The fuselage matches up very nicely, but the (top) wings are warped. It will need plenty of tape to hold the two halves together, luckily the engine mount will help.
5. from other modellers who have built this beast I understand the engines are slightly bigger than the mount on the wing, so some sanding to do there I think.
7. you will need plenty of paint, especially RLM colours
6. did I mention it’s big.
Those are my observations so far. In general, it’s a very nice kit. :-)
