This is like a Tamiya kit as far as fit goes. Even a little bit of paint makes things really tight when putting parts together.

Tonight I used Ammo's "Heave Chipping Fluid" on some parts. I then painted the stripes and parts of the engines red. After they were mostly dry, I "chipped" at the red paint. I think it came out great! There of course will be more weathering later on these parts.

Beautiful work! I built the Finemolds kit and it went together so finely I almost didn't even need to glue it!

Yeah Duke, this is the same way. Not much glue needed.

So I decided to do a wash on the fuselage now because of all the pipes that have to go on next. That'll make it much harder to do later on.

Before.
