One boo boo that I didn't discover until after the fact, was that the addition of an .010 shim to cowl panel front end, just ended up pushing the cowl backwards, creating larger gaps around the lower part of the panel. I've now shaved off that shim (not yet done in this photo though) and will just shim it at the rear, as that's where the biggest gap appears to be anyway.

Upper radiator flaps have now had all 12 ejector pin marks smoothed over, using a combination of superglue and mister surfacer. I'll soon be ordering some Archer rivet decals (probably in October), and may well use some of them on the lower flaps, but probably not on these uppers; I'm still debating that.

Nice build. Your wheels look great but the injector pins are on nasty places. Be carefull with sanding.

 

Oh yes, I've already removed dozens, with more to do. It's still a pretty neat kit though, in my opinion.
