@ Don / Isaac - You know I like to keep the original paint as much as possible. Edge painting, ok. Overall painting, only is there is a big mishap. The surface doesn’t come out as smooth as it could with sanding and painting but I see this as a typical paper feature…
@yrn_n - you mean "plastic"?
The engine cowling is not as rounded as it may look at first sight. The front section is circular but an eccentricity develops in the cowling and keeps growing to the canopy.
The kit includes the tab to glue the rear parts but not the two tabs needed for the front parts. I added them and the difference in style is readily apparent on the picture…
