@ ebf2K - cellulosic (all-purpose UHU) glue.

Do you see a problem in the first picture? Right, there is one and quite silly! Fortunately, the rear wire doesn’t cross anything inside the fuselage and new holes on the skin do the job. If the problem was on the front wire, it would be a mess…
The other “problem” was expectable. A lot of ballast is needed. The compartment over the landing gear bay, between the piston engine and the cockpit provides adequate room for ballast.

Look for it at the new 4th building. On the right side of the XB-70

I'm giving a tour tomorrow of this building. Come on down

Its amazing how its possible to anchive such a perfection!!

The publishers should start returning back the money that you spend with each model you build.

There is no better advertising to a model than your build.

Thanks for the comments

@ Tino - if you divide the cost of a kit by the number of hours that the assembly takes, the result is quite negligible. If publishers feel happy with building reports of their products, fine! They'll keep publishing

And there it is. Despite the minor setbacks, I was positively surprised with the kit. The detail level is good, the colors are fine and the fit ends up being not problematic.
As it often happens on propeller driven (or mixed power plant) planes with tricycle undercarriage, it is easy to fill the pictures. Nice one, GPM!

And the last ones.
As usual, I'll be "off" for much needed holidays. Count me back soon
