Thanks, guys! :)
To fill in a bit of time:
I forgot to mention it's HobbyBoss 1/48 scale. I've just ordered the detail bits & paints from BNA Models, so they should be here early next week (I hope).
Spent ages cleaning this the other day because it felt oily & I could even see oil/release agent on it, scrubbed it like crazy. Forgot to wipe it down with metho, though, & the Tamiya white primer I sprayed on everything yesterday ..... Well, let's just say I'm not f@%&*^g happy. Looks like I'll be carefully sanding & re-scribing panel lines & fastener holes for the next few days.
Few interesting errors with the kit that I've found, so far;
- oily, lots of oil (release agent?), enough to actually damage the surface of the kit in some places (luckily nowhere I couldn't fix it easily);
- no gun barrels for the .50's (in the BNA Models order);
- no cowl flaps over the lower exhaust pipes (not even lines marking them), which I'm fixing at the moment;
- chin vent is closed off, it should open onto the lower cylinders (fixed);
- fit is good but not great, so I see some careful, minor PSR work in my future; &
- a few ejector pin markings in easily seen places (like high up in the cockpit), most of which I've fixed.
All that said, though, it's actually quite a nice kit, so far, with, I think, a better than average fit & good detail.
Cheers!
