Thank you for your support and interest, all of you!
I do realise that pictures of the box(es) and the contents hardly can be seen as enough if one is doing a build log, so here are some progress pics.
It's a beatuiful model. Very crisp details and the fit is precise, to say the least. Extra coats of glue or colour can easily create issues when fitting individual pieces together. I'm sure I'll have reason to come back to this later on.
I started the build with the separation of the ailerons from the main wings. You can see that I did slip a little in the process and caused some damage to the wing, but I think it's all gone now.
The only flaw so far concerns part C6. It's supposed to have a photoetched part attached to it and this will later take the control wires for the elevators. However, the rod part was missing from both of my C6 parts and they are so tiny/flimsy that it's difficult to add it. Instead I decided to skip the plastic part altogether and add the rod using brass tubing. Turned out pretty well actually.
And finally (for now) everything is readied for primer.
Not a lot to show, but it does constitute as progress I think and even small steps are steps.
