Yep, great work on the seams. I hate that part, not always easy to get smooth flat area after filling between fuselage and wings.

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
Almost ready for some primer and paint. I like the lines and details of this kit. I am however worried how the decals will lay down.
Installed the refueling probe and some other bits to the fuselage
To Greg, I don't know if you got to this point yet but try this to avoid some headache. The kit instructions say to install the Instrument panel here.
The problem is if you do the IP hood piece won't fit correctly. What I ended up doing is installing the IP directly to the hood part and then fit into the cockpit.
Thanks for looking

Nice work and I see what you mean regarding the decals, it will probably take plenty of setting solutions to get them to pull down over some of the detailing without silvering.

Dirk, your photos don't make it clear what your text refers to. Any chance you could use some bigger arrows?

I have one of these in The Stash for my own Tiger collection and am enjoying the tips given so far.

Dirk, some setting solutions will do the trick. Say what you want about kits out of China, but they tend to have good decals.
