I've now got the decals on.One of the wing roundels was damaged.So I replaced both the upper wing roundels with ones from an after market sheet.The white lines for the fuselage are not included and I think the manufacturer expects you to paint them on.I cut some from a 20 year old sheet of white decal film instead.

Nice job on the decals Dave ! The white stripe on the fuse would've been a pain to paint ,good thing you had some old film around.

 

[Guest]

The Maryland is looking smart now Dave, good work.

I've just glued the resin exhausts on.These are nicely cast and I think they look rather good.Then I fitted the undercarriage.These bits on the other hand are a bit of an after thought and not up to the high standard of the rest of the kit.They just plug into holes in the undercarriage bays and seem a bit flimsy.

Looking very good Dave

I like those exhausts, and the landing gear could be brought to life a little bit by adding a brake line?

Making a great job of this, looking forward to seeing this finished, funnily enough I had the same alignment problem on one wing of my Pacific coast Hurricane, one was fine the other like yours.

You're almost done, very good.

The way the wing halves are molded resulted in a step where they meet the fuselage underside.The only way round it would be to build it up with filler.As it's on the underside I'm not too bothered about it.

 

[Guest]

This looks superb I would love to have a go at one myself.
