The fuselage and wings and nacelles are all together, awaiting painting & mating.
Aside from the warped wing and some nit-picky items (to be detailed ASAP), this has been a easy model to build. However, Fine Scale Modeler's Dec. 2005 issue's review of it shows some fit problems around the gun bays. I wondered if the problem was the reviewer or the kit.
Here is my attempt:
There is a slight seam on the bottom of the rear fuselage. Scrutinizing photos of Sturmvogels, I found a 6 O-clock belly shot of one and noted there appears to be a seam there. So lest someone can convince me otherwise, I will not put extra effort into filling and sanding it. That belly seam ahead of the wings has got to go, though.
ADDENDUM As I archive this build, I will supply hotlinks to the build's other posts:
