I also had to go back and cut the wing edges apart on the right wing of the Marek model and reglue it. For some reason it developed a pretty good twist to it. After resetting it seems to be even with the left and no twist. Though I will have to shave ever so much off of the underside that is now exposed. Funny how just so little can cause such a noticeable twist!. But it is fixed.

And now I am running out of reasons to avoid cutting the rest of the exhaust ports!

The air conditioner unit . You'd think we were modelling in the 21st century or something.

Well... might be an oil cooling thingy or something but it looks like an old window mounted air conditioner I had at our old place... I know boats, not so much when it comes to planes.

The Prudenziati model is sleeker looking and far quicker to build. The Marek model is stronger and has better wing-body connection-though they were difficult to do. The details such as exhaust and landing gear are more detailed on the Marek as well, but at 1/50 scale (or even smaller) the Prudenziati model pulls it off well... random thoughts!

I got to agree that the Prudenziati model came out much better...

Well, got the Prudenziati model done and I rather like it. The wheels are a little boxy and up close the flat details are a little noticeable but all in all it was a nice and quick build. I suspect that with a little work by some one more talented the I that this model could incorporate shaped wheels and more detailed parts. But I am quite happy with it. Now... back to the Marek model! Almost done with that one also.

Looks fantastic mate. Having the tread printed on those tyres reduces the 'boxy' look a lot.
Itching to see the Marek.

That looks great. I did Zio's MC.202 with the squiggle camo about 2 months ago. It turned out nice as well. They just need a little reengineering.
