Thanks, Glenn!
This weekend I assembled the external wings, the stabilizers, the cockpit and one engine.
Tips: the model needs more or less 2 clips in the nose to prevent a heavy tail. One solution is a drop of lead. And when I said a drop, I mean a drop: lead can be found in the streets when it falls from the cars wheels. Or in old plumbing. Anyway, pick a metalic container, like a lid or cup, fill it with lead and place it on the oven. It melts. Just be carefull its toxic and must be managed with pliers. To cool down, drop it in water or use a gypsum mold.
The lead drop was placed inside the radar compartment.
Another tip: the last pieces of the engines must be the intake and exaust ducts.
The nose was sanded and retouched with white paint.
You can see three external wings and three elevators: two where color printed and the third was printed in black and white and color painted.
The reinforcements aren't simetric to conform better to the internal surface of wings and elevators
