Another one resident into my shelves.
This came out to look better, then I thought. The build was pretty straight forward, but there were a few perplex parts when doing bag no.3. The two back parts of the airframe. To be honest I was kinda tired at that point of the build, so I just probably confused myself unintentionally.
The "tool" Cobi gives to insert the locking pins on the display struts had a bit too tight tolerances. It held the pins well, but when you tried to pull the tool from the pin, then the pin just came with it. No worries though... A few rounds around the tool's inner wall with a hobby knife or box cutter will loosen it up.
Trying to seat the pilot almost made my head explode. It is just not possible without blu-tack. Also you have to put the pilot in a semi vertical position so you can fully close the canopy. I've heard, that the canopy in most cases can't be closed for a reason or another, but I didn't have this problem.
I also can recommend a window cleaning spray to clean the fingerprints of your models. Just don't spray it directly to the model. Damben the cloth and carefully swipe the model. Remove any excess liquid with a dry cloth.
Overall I loved the build and I'll give it 8,5/10.
Cool looking model and a fun build.
I can absolutely recommend it.
