Aviattic decals went on smoothly,  only minor trimming was needed and Micro Sol and Set worked perfectly with them.

Building this kit has been anything but enjoyable so far, today i battled with interplane struts, which needed trimming (surprise) to get them to align properly, how i wish Tamiya would make WW1 planes!

No surprise but it looks like you mastered the fit of the struts! To Me it gives more satisfaction when I actually win the Battle...  8) Really looking Terrific!

You've clearly worked some magic and beaten the less than precise engineering of the kit. Despite not having fun it looks wonderful.
