I encountered no problems assembling this part whatsoever.  Still, I have the twin booms of which causes issues on the majority of kits.  Let's find out together!

Thank you sir, I did not come across any type of issues as of yet.  It's the twin booms that can be an issue.

Looking good Toshi. I'm starting to like the big scale myself.

Thank you lawdog114.  I've always loved the 1/32 scale kits.  They are quite fun.  Thank you for the support!

With the Patriots (To Brady's 5th SB Ring a record) I could only persevered to continue on my P-38 Lightning.  Poor Matt Ryan and the Falcons.  Oh well.  I can only continue to perservere on the twin boom connection of which is the most troublesome area in all p-38 Lighning area's as far as fit and finish is concerned.  

Once I can clear this hump, it's smooth sailing from here, I hope!!!  So far the tape is off and everything has been smooth down and puttied.

Thank you M. Brindos.  It took a couple of dry test fits but all in all, I'm pleased with the direction this is going.  Thanks for the visit!

Looks good but will look even better if you scrape off the seams along the tops of the MGs. Touch it up after a few passes with a #11 blade.

Thank you PlasticJunkie.  I missed that, thank you so much for pointing that out to me.  Bad cognitive day!  I'll fix that ASAP, that definately doesn't look good.

No biggie Toshi. Sometimes we miss things staring us in the face lol. Also, throw a black wash on the ammo feed belts. It will pop the detail and give a shadow line between each .50 casing.

Got the seams fixed but broke something else.  LOL!  I'll fix it, I think I need some away for a couple of days to clear my mind.  Thanks again for the tip PlasticJunkie.
