The vertical stabilizer looks good. The separate rudder definitely adds detail to the kit.

I added a top and bottom sheet to smooth things

Wings are on. Fillets will be added next.

Exclamation Fillets

These are really nice and big and relatively flat upper wing to fuselage fillets.

She's coming together very nicely, Isaac. Looking forward to the separate ailerons.

Not much to this little build even at the 1/33 scale.

The Fantail is looking really nice. I'm still enjoying the separate control surfaces.

It would be interesting to see a side by side with a MiG-15 to see if there is a significant size difference.

Keep up the great work.
