Well what should have been a 4 hour jobber turned out to take 6. What held me up? The canopy. This model was second hand and as I've discovered, second hand models are notorious for missing canopys. No problem, I'll just fit a spare I have to fit. Well, my spare shattered in my attempt to make it fit. *scream*
Okay, Now I had to go find a NEW replacement, and well this theme continued for an hour untill I got my LAST spare to fit, kinda. The front end fits fine, but theres a gap in the back which is obvious. However I didn't care, its a canopy I'LL TAKE IT.
Second problem, after putting in the wheels I noticed something. One of them was shorter than the other *scream* so now theres an obvious tilt in the plane (hense the camera angle, I'm trying to hide it >.> ) .
Anyways, the notable difference is that I included the national colors (France) into this plane's tail, which I really like as it sets it apart. Overall, I like how it came out though despite its flaws because the paint job came out so well and the fact its my only French fighter (probably last, I don't think they make French model planes anymore).
BTW, if your wondering why I have a belt sander as a tool, thats what I used to modify my canopy to fit
