Overcame some final issues with the flat coat. Whilst unmasking I pushed the rear section of the starboard side windows in a bit and was unable to pull them back into alignment. Also visible are some marks on the windshield, which were crack repairs using Clearfix before masking. In the interests of completion I'm leaving it as is. Not my best work but it looks good on the shelf. I'm sure the new Airfix kit would make for a more pleasant build. I will build a second Italeri Dakota at a later time, having learned much about the kit and its limitations.

Looks great Joe

As I said before I’ve got this one in the stash so it was useful seeing how it goes together.

Nice work

Geoff.
