Hello. Now building this kit. I’ve already made 2 major blunders.
The intakes: Granted, the design of the innards of this thing is really bad, but there is a step right inside the front of the intake. I didn’t take it out. (At least I painted the inside of the intake dark grey.)
The front of the intakes: The wedge-shaped front part is a separate assembly. The instructions tell me to glue the wedge-shapes onto the front of the lower fuselage half, BEFORE gluing the upper. This is a major mistake, as the seam on the nose of the plane goes behind the side of the intake facing the nose, and it will be impossible to fill and sand that whole seam now!!! Darn!!! This problem area is all too visible.
The gun port has a seam inside it. Best to fill it too.
Any other things to worry about? I’ve made too many mistakes already.
