Looks right to me - the upper lip of the intake should stick out further than the lower one, and yours appears to do that.splash wrote:I think you might have fitted your air intakes upside down

Well, I only squeezed the intakes in, because glue was not needed for the intakes, as the fit is so tight.

Well then. I'll have to fix that.

so why do Airfix over engineer the kit?
Is it just to give us the choice to get it wrong?
If so I'm normally the first to take the wrong option

Re: BlohmWolf's Manly New Zealand Vampire
I finished the vampire this afternoon, so here is it:
Excuse the poorly painted undercarriage, I was rushed at the time
How was this kit?
The kit was great, it fitted nicely, with minor modifications it could have many different ways of putting it together. Seams were easy to get rid off, canopy worked pretty well for me too. All the panel lines are really nice, so I left them without a wash. And it ultimately made me happy! Would buy 10 for a whole squadron!
9/10.
