Part #7 is an internal box to hold together the lower part of the fuselage and (I guess)
to properly align the wing. As well as to help shape the bottom of the fuselage behind the cabin.
As there are no clear references in the simple instruction sheet,
this is my best guess. Fortunately it seemed to work fine.
I keep loving the incredible amount of accurate detail in the paneling and the rivets lines.
At 1:100 and with less parts, it is still much better than in a couple of paid kits I've seen.
So far 14 parts assembled.
I still believe the paper I chose was a bit too thick.
That's why I'm already thinking on building this kit a bit bigger.
Surely it will work great at 1:72
The fin and horizontal stabilizer are really easy to make.
And they fit charmingly. No formers needed, no extra cuts required.
It all falls into place perfectly.
The alignment is quite good. I believe you have to be very careful pre-shaping the fuselage parts,
because that will influence how level the stabilizer will be. In my case there seems to be a little tilt.
I will keep building this kit next week.
Until next time!
