Looking good Ian.
How bad are the fit issues and how much cleaning up is needed. I seem to remember reading a review that said it was a bit off fit wise.

Got the seams cleaned up, also put the wings, tail plains and engine cowling together.

I will need to put some primer on to check the seams properly.

Just a man with a bit of time on his hands.
To be honest Andrew, I'm finding the fit quite good at the moment. Dry fitting helps a lot and there are a few seam lines to fill a little, but ok really.
Cockpit and the engine look great and the build is whizzing along Ian, you’re smashing it as the youth say :tears-of-joy:

I’ve got the wings and tail fitted, also the engine and cowlings ( not the best fit, but will be able to fix easily)

Coming along nicely Ian, I’m sure you will be able to bash the cowling into shape :thumb2:

Nice stealth version :hungry:
I’ve decided on this scheme,
Got the white painted, I just need to mask them off, then the blue to go on.

Started to get the blue on.
Nice mottling effect going on there Ian :thumb2:

Ian the Office and power plant looks good and the pre paint and shade motting.
All looking splendid Ian. I've got the little 1:72 version and the detail in that is really good, so seeing it in a larger scale, is even more impressive.
Thanks everyone, I'm just awaiting for some paint.
I'm late in joining this build but the catch up was a pleasant experience.
From what I see, this will be a very nice Wildcat.

Got it all painted, some clear then it’s decal time.
