The plastic as a pale yellow with a swirly translucent marbled look - all of which makes is ruddy hard to see the surface detail. It appears that the moulds were heavily run during their time in Pyro's hands as there is an abundance of flash, unfortunately some small parts are also short shot and will need to be remade. The stand appears to be missing as well.
Some of the sprues:
I removed the cockpit and propulsion parts and cleaned them up and then put the wings together. I used a ruler taped to the bench to get the front edges aligned. Small gaps around the joins and tabs were filled along with shallow ejector pin marks.
Yep that a 12"/30cm wingspan, about the biggest thing I've been in a long time! There won't be a lot of construction until all the parts are painted as everything bit is on show. I could do with getting some more Tamiya clear orange to varnish the wood my LMS has stopped stocking it as it didn't sell or else continue mix clear read and yellow myself.
You do like to challenge yourself don't you, James?
