Thanks all for your very kind words!
Indeed this one is coming together quite quickly. Fit is quite good, save a few little spots under the nose and lower wing at the rear fuselage point, but nothing serious. The fit is a testament to Eduard's engineering (I certainly tried my best to muck it up here and there, but thankfully nothing too serious). I went with the closed cowl option, which needed some trimming and fettling here and there. Thankfully Eduard warn you that this is needed in the instructions.
I found some time this weekend to get her primed. No real areas needing any serious clean-up which is always nice.
The surface detail is simply exquisite. It certainly pops out under a coat of primer.
I am looking forward to getting some colour coats on her soon, time permitting.
Cheers again,
Brad C
