What did I agree too!

I'm finding this fascinating for such an old kit, what it has regarding detail, or doesn't have, how it goes together and such
The biggest surprise here, with the close-up pictures, is how understated the surface detail, compared to contemporary rivet-fests!

It is to be fair quite advanced in areas, like the flaps on the wings can move (although one is stiff and one just flaps in the wind) and the landing gear can be stowed and the doors closed behind them. However it all is a little creaky and cracks in noises so I'll fix them all in position with it going onto a base at somepoint. The rivet detail is quite good, but with the poor panel joins, some maybe lost unfortunately. Think this kit was designed for children to play with back in the day more than a static model.
 
You're making good progress. Seems to be going together ok. Masking looks neat to me.
