I'm so sorry Manny... But our (dutch) xmass lasts two days, not one.... Sorry excuse but there you have it.
After closing it all up and sanding the heck out of it i started painting. I chose a rlm 70/71 over 76 splinter camo:

I must warn all who will build the dragon: You will encounter revell/ monogram type of wing/ fuselage joints and particularly difficult was the nose piece to forward fuselage join. It made fitting the canopy a nightmare for me and took lots of fitting and fiddling around.
The engine hatches are glued on with microscale's Micro liquitape. First time i used that and appearantly it works like a yellow post-it note. You can take it off and put it on indefinately and still it should stick into place.... verdict to follow... Hope you guys like my work sofar...
