Are those side consoles green or is it just the light?

If they are it makes a change to the usual RAF tubs

ok ive managed to get an hour today

first thing i realise is the cockpit decals are blue and the real ones are green and orange, but hey ho its OOB so who cares

Posted Image


now the fuselage doesnt seem to fit properly but it has a spine to go over the top so im now worried

ok the spine is drying

Posted Image

but will need some filler as the fit isnt the best

Posted Image

well while thats drying ive moved on to the worst bit of the build, the intakes

Posted Image

there must be a better way for revell to mould these as its a complicated way to assemble all these parts

Posted Image

when done it leave this massive seam line which is really difficult to access to fill and sand
