I've actually been building this plane on and off for a few months now. Just the weapons and numerous decals to finish when I get time.
I did have a couple of fit issues with the intakes and landing gear bay, as well as removing a "lovley" line on the canopy halves.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

O yes it's a pain that line on the canopy
Spent ages as well removing that and then polishing the canopy to make it clear again

[@frozendragon6873]

@@yorkshiremanmodels I think I scraped the line off gently with a blade and then use wet 2000, 5000, 7000 and 10000 grit wet and dry paper.
Finished it off with a cotton bud and some T-Cut of all things. I got shut of the line in about 15 mins.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

I remembered ved the line with 1000 grit then worked up with 2000 2500 and then with a 3000 tamiya sponge then finally used tamiya finishing compounds

Finished this same kit about a year ago. It was easy and fun!

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

I am painting it now and it's already looking great just with the base paints on and I have yet to decal it
