I have had this kit in my stash since it first came out. Over the years I have slowly axquired more and more after market items, My love for the "Hun" came from visiting Mildenhall airshow in 1980 and seeing the Danish 'Hun' displaying that day. After that I acquired the 1/48th Monogram F-100D and had a blast building that.
This weekend I finally starting facing my biggest issues with the kit - the mass of holes all over it that to my mind are just not that apparent on the real beast. So I slathered the model with Mr Surfacer 500.
In the mean time I started on the Aires cockpit tub.
Still a fair way to go on the cockpit but I am quite pleased with the start. Next up wiill be much sanding and scibing and then to continue with the Aires cockpit, U/C bays and the engine.
