Amazing job. The weathering looks spot on. Can you handle the model after Aqualine applying it? Do you seal it at any point?

As long as your fingers are not wet there shouldn't be a problem. This is a heavy model. It takes two hands to lift it.

Update March 22, 2022

The white tab that holds the wing/engine assembly to the fuselage is waaaaaaaaay too small. It should have been twice as long and twice as deep to support the weight of the wing/engine assembly. The wing wobbles up and down eventhough I used a lot of glue on tab.

The front landing gear was installed without a hitch. Remember, the landing gear should be one of the last parts installed.

Masks for the canopies are not included in the kit. I used Tamyia Yellow tape to make the masks.

Still can't get over how great the finish is on your build.  Sure hope the engines don't give you too much trouble.  You've got to be at the finishline at this point.

Thanks,

John
