It's only a sideways matter, not a setback, keep going brotha!

I'm sure they could have fitted a few more EPMs on there if they tried hard enough The metalwork looks excellent by the way

Thanks, guys! Yes, the punch-marks were totally expected. Very common on the struts and doors of Hasegawa fast-burners.

What filler is that? I use Vallejo and it tends to shrink as it dries and t's very tuff to sand

That dark wash is one of your signature finishes, Ian.

Just a minor update on the F-8. A minor issue with the kit is that it is really designed to be canopy down. However, a slight mod can fix that. The canopy horns are very thick so I marked their position with a red Sharpie and then clipped them off. They were then replaced with much thinner sheet-stock horns and glued on and blended, where I had marked the spot. Now the canopy will fit around the fuselage contour, in a raised position.
