dennismcc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 That looks great, so realistic, you should have done some Black and White photos. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Wonderfully done! Same question as ade rowlands: "How was the build?" I've heard mixed things about the Meng 163 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Very, very nice Eric! I have this in the stash with similar AM to add tobit. How dis you find getting those upper fuselage panels to fit and blend in as I've seen and heard some horror stories of this kit which keeps me from starting it. Stunning finish and thank you for sharing! Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fit between the wings and the fuselage was a little poor but I found sanding it down and then re riveting the wing root fairings with an MDC riveting tool worked best.

All the rivets on the wing roots were sanded away and then re-done with the mentioned tool once I was happy with the fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
