Got some good bench time in yesterday!
No sprue shots or boxart - you all know what they are from other threads. A very simple kit with little detail, but ideal for a quick build to get back into the swing of things.
No much detail in the cockpit, so I added a generic IP and stick, and replaced the pilot's armchair with something a bit less comfy and a bit more military:
With the thick canopy on, you can't see much anyway. Fit of the fuselage is OK, but the wings are quite poor:
I did fill in the gap behind the headrest, as it is un-prototypically empty - there should be a "parcel shelf" back there. Should I add a nodding dog??
Plenty of filler needed at the wing roots:
..and on the undersides:
Not going to bother with re-doing the ultra-shallow wheel wells; this one is strictly OOB from now on.
Still haven't quite decided what scheme to go for, but likely the "Type 1" early scheme of EDSG low on the sides, and probably Dutch navy markings from the Xtradecal sheet. I'm hopig to have the painting done today and to get the decalling and dangly bits done next weekend.
