Decals are on, one of the stripes end up a little out of alignment, but I didn't catch until after it had set. Should be wrapping it up shortly.

Little bit of a gap around the tower here... not sure extra thin will fill it in.

Getting somewhere with assembly... I see much sanding and a bit of putty in my near future.

Almost done with assembly. Still have to do the net cutter, and the rods for the control surfaces. After that its priming painting and decals.

Watching! Some time ago I finished the other incarnation of this kit:
Big one and small one | Album by podkon (1:72)
and I liked it very much 😉
If I may suggest you something - for such gaps like around the tower I use washable acrylic putty:
Washable Acrylic Putty (Wamod OD23, No)

Looks like the plastic putty is gonna do the trick.

Got the net cutter, and the control surface rods into place. Everything should be ready for a quick tidy up. Then tomorrow priming and paint. If I can get it done early, I might have decals on it by the end of the day.

Primed and painted. Now its time to clear coat, decal, and clear coat again.

And I just dropped on the concrete while I was carrying out to the garage.

Oh well, win some lose some. I am still counting it as completed. Gonna put aside, might able to use the mangled remains for a diorama or something later.
