The original plastic cockpit is so simplified that I strongly recommend checking the PE set in the box or you may buy it on aftermarket.

The worst fitting in this kit. I have to cut out the floor about 2mm, on both sides...Then clear out the excessing details on the walls.

After that, the upper seam is acceptable for fitting the nose part.

At first, I thought the gear/engine bay can be glued before the gears so. It's NOT.

Engines are well cast, so they deserve adding more details. 🙂

Enlightened. I think there was a little bit too dark on the upper side.

Decals were good!

Gray line is much more better, yet I believe that I should do more enlightening on panels

Copper wire is not good enough, I have brought elastic wire for 1/700 ships, just wait.

Hi everyone! When I was waiting materials for my carrier elevator. I decided to open a MPM kit of A-20G. To be honest, the fitting of this kit is quite disappointing, yet a piece of Eduard's coloured PE is a plus.
This project will go on with standard procedure. Have fun.
