Finished. A fun build but it was one of those builds when I thought I was done, I found another task, then another and another.... As it is I have more things I could do but desided enough is enough.
Decals seem to be silvering even after they seemed fine early on. From now on I will glue them on with Future.

I will wait and attach all the tiny bits I know I will knock off and loose until after I'm done shooting.

Opening the canopy into four sections was a pain but I'm glad I did.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
