Well here is where I'm at . There is no interior other than the seat, but with the canopy you probably wont see much nohow.

I decided to go with the colors I got on hand only colors missing is gunmetal and underside blue it will be middle blue instead of underside blue and dark grey instead of gunmetal but that is it.

some heavy flash seams aren't too bad, if you want something different for your collection for the 8 bucks it cost me I would recommend it. It Only has 24 parts to it. Half wings plus top parts sides seat  tail planes one piece each. Rest are the landing gears and doors

Overall I guess if you think of it like a old Airfix or matchbox early revel or linburg ? or even heller kit then it would fit in with that group on detail and fit.

Ok its done not a bad little kit

Things too note Landing gear too long did not notice it till I got them put on and started too look at them

Rear wheel bay a bit too big need to widen the airplanes sides a litte

Decals not the greatest even tho there is a gloss coat down and I used decal set

Still need to work on my sanding and putty skills but I used what I had on hand, and I at least finished it.

Hope these are the correct style pictures

Well done, Ill sort that front page out.

When it comes to filling and sanding you can save youself alot of time by dry fitting over and over untill you get as close a fit as possible. A little trimming here and there can make a massive difference. 

She looks good all finished like that, that was damn fast. In the time it took you to complete one model i did the following.

Broke a pin on an AM prop blade.

Cut some parts off a sprue.

Painted some guns.

Started building a cockpit.
