I commented early on that this kit is well engineered. That was my initial impression but I now take that back. It is deceptive, this kit is a typical Revell one, with appalling engineering, poor fitting and terrible instructions that are misleading.
My fit problems around the cockpit and gondola area are quite serious. I have shown some of the problems and the use of filler. The fit of the gondola transparencies are very poor and I have had to use filler. It is not ideal and I am limited in what I can do to correct some parts of that fit.
In addition I had problems with the undercarriage. The instructions were misleading and there are no positive locations to fix the angles. This has been a struggle.
I will still be able to get an impressive model out of this kit but it will not be up to my usual standard. Anyway, some progress pics.
The troublesome gondola area:
The even more troublesome undercarriage
More work done to the wings - at least they fit well....
The engine nacelles - the fit of these to the wings looks as it it might be a bit ropey. Got to clean them up first though....
Overall had more time than usual this week, 5 sessions and about 7 hours work.
