AdamR Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 No issues with this kit to speak of. Gluing the empennage assembly to the fuselage can be a bit tricky. I glued the empennage halves together first this time, as opposed to gluing each to its fuselage half first as I did on my first build of this kit. It seemed to work about as well.

AdamR Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) especially on the 500 pounder. Thanks. I textured it with Mr Surfacer 500, shot hair spray over a mixture of steel and rust enamels, then sprayed it with Tamiya OD acrylic and chipped it. Those thick fins really stand out in a photo, though. PE next time if I can figure out how to bend the damned things.
