Thank you Dan !
You are 100% correct… it’s a Tamyia kit.
Look amazing.
I know it’s only a small part, but the gunsight blew me away with the attention to detail.

Thanks , that little tiny part wasn’t easy to build, I had to be patient, very patient…
I’m enjoying this one so far, I will make an extra effort the next few weeks, I would love to finish it next August..

I will make an effort to get it finished in August… at least that’s my plan.
Still a few things to get done, landing gear, wheels, bombs.

Dan, I ran into some issues yesterday, you might get those in your kit too,
the cylindrical base that sits in front of the engine,
is a little too big as you can see from my photos.
Also the decal , n#1 and #2
are too big, you’ll need to a lot … I managed to get it ok, but my strong recommendation is to measure the colors,mask and paint the rudder.
Hi Nito,
Very valuable information, thank you. As for decals, I’ve recently started avoiding large ones that reproduce national insignia, preferring to paint them if I can find the specific masks available. So your advice strengthens my inclination. Have you already considered which paints (I use Tamiya/Gunze/Mr. Paint) might be the best references?

The decal quality is good, except for the oversized rudder ones.
At this stage, I’m leaving the decals on mine.
I would go for Tamyia flat red and Humbrol matt 24( its the yellow I’ve used for the wings, stripe and engine cover) , the blue … honestly I don’t know
Thanks

I worked on the landing gear, center bomb rack parts, other bits on the lower fuselage, the resin and PE got Primer too.
Then I worked on the landing gear, some plastic parts were needed too.
Fixing the landing gear was very difficult.
Also worked on the center bomb, added plastic parts for the rack and other PE details.
I’m letting everything dry.
In the next few days, I’ll have to paint all these parts, well I hope to get it done during next week.
Thanks for watching !
