Many thanks indeed Ian  , consider this a practice run for our possible Mig build  . Definitely would be up for a MIG build at some point. |

Been beavering away in the background but now have a finished pit minus belts which will go on soon. I'm also just working on the fuselage & wings cleaning up joints and making sure it all fits as it should.   |

Looks very good Pete. The cockpit looks neat, it will look even better with the harness in place. Paul, I think you right I've had a good spraying session, but not much in the way of construction. I'll post some photos tomorrow. |

Boots, your not wrong there Tommy, I think your looking at Paul or Pete. I've made a bit of progress over the last day or so. As you can see, the fuselage, engine nacelles and tyres have had a coat of primer. I made a start on the cockpit by adding the rudder foot peddles. The undercarriage legs are painted and ready to go to the Finished Parts Store ( or in this case, a plastic bag), as are the engine fans and exhaust nozzles. The lower surfaces are RLM76, and the upper surfaces are RLM82. I plan to do a bit more painting today and then I'll concentrate on the cockpit.

Progress on my kit is going well even though I did have quite a bit of flash and some poor fitting areas to deal with. All the parts are now ready for primer.   |

Thank you Marco, Cheers Boots, Thank you Pete, your build looks like it's well underway and coming together very nicely as usual. Paul, many thanks. I'm sure you will catch up in no time. |

That's a bummer. You forget how old some of these Tamiya kits are. Over 25years in some cases!
I made the A-3 when it was first released. After I made it, my mate pointed out one wing was lower than the other much to his amusement!
I never noticed when I built it. I still don't know if it was me or the kit.

Oh no, I'm gonna check that now but it might be too late I come up with a cunning plan. I flattened the tyre on the side that was higher. Then it looked like it had a flat tyre |
