Pedro conversion, do not attempt if you care to preserve your sanity.

After two days of fighting it I think I have gotten the better of the whole wing situation.

Need to install the extended trim tab on the other wing and the rhomboidal baffles under the wings then I can start looking at what it will take to actually attach these to the fuselage.
All those blue numbers and arrows are explained in the build feature ...

I think the most annoying thing about the conversion is that it's for a model that's out of production! Hello, Monogram? REISSUE PLEASE!

Gregers, the real trick is several light passes allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Same goes for the chalk - several light passes to build up color.
