Which kit you using?

 

[Phantom2]

I did build the Trumpy -5(N) Night Fighter a few years ago.

 

It´s a pretty good kit, goes together quite well as I remember.

 

It needs some slimming behind the cockpit, tough and it took some work to get the wings spread.

 

Please read some build threads here on the forum, there is several very nice builds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This kit is built mostly OOB, only a set of seat belts from Eduard, Barracudacast Wheels and gun barrels from Master, no filler at all.

 

Cheers!

The shape is off with the Trumpy kit, as Stefan says the worst part is the too fat fuselage from the rear part of the cockpit to a bit aft. Builds have sanded the rear cockpit frame and squeezing the rear fuselage. I seem to remember an issue with the rear windows, too. I second Stefan's suggestion to review builds on this site.

Here are a couple:

Here is Phantom's build:
