FINISHED! There's still five pieces that I haven't found a home for; three are short rods and two are ????, who knows?:(
The color mismatch is a real pain, but I'm thinking maybe some camo or snow camo to cover the obvious differences. Maybe I can just paint the whole thing black for night ops.
All in all, this isn't a terrible kit, but it's not a particularly good one, either. There are the typical misfits and misprints of a MM kit of the era, but the SU-2 is not a particularly dramatic looking aircraft to begin with....
I think I need to put on a heavier antenna wire. I can't even see this 2 lb. mono one!
I raced through the rest of the canopy. It came out OK, but I forgot to color the inside of the frame and had to go in after and blacken it with a marker. :o
I think I next need to build something that fits a little better, has adequate diagrams (possibly even English instructions!) and doesn't need to be recolored.
