Thanks Paul :th:

There is a few issues one is that the front part of the cockpit sits to high in the fuselage
it needs to be sanded down to get it to sit lower otherwise the canopy won`t fit over the hud

And the decals have White residue after the protective paper however this won`t show after a clearcoat

There is a few sinkmarks on a few part to the biggest ones are on the tailfins

But overall a nice kit
