The Spearfish cockpit is added to the fuselage and the halves are fixed together, not without a little struggle I might say. She's now sitting in clamps waiting for the glue to fully cure. Looking at the wing join, it's ok but I will need to break the Milliput out for the fuselage and the wings I'm thinking.
Started on the Super Corsair. I really think some companies add resin parts just to show off sometimes. In older "limited run" kits I could understand but not with relatively new ones like this. Sure the resin is gorgeous but some parts are super tiny and a lot of them don't really fit
The wheel well inserts are very nice but you would have to sand the backs until they are see through to get them to fit. I know because the same companies Tempest II has them of this thickness and I've built it. Also the cockpit insert needed its sides sanded heavily to get the fuselage to close and that is without the separate resin sidewalls (the Typhoons really won't fit without taking the fuselage walls down to see through) They will get left off as will the wheel wells. I will replace the framing and wheel bay walls (and that's all the resin parts have) with plastic strip. A lot quicker and anyone takes a dental mirror to one of my kits (I've seen it at a Junior competition
) I'll take issue with them
The engine and a couple of other bits will get used and as said they are very nice, but..................
