Here's a couple of photos that show the main components and the first stage of the painting. The paint scheme has altered slightly from when this photo was taken including a repaint of the supercharger air intake from yellow to all camouflage colour.
During the painting I noticed the kit is missing some prominent bulges at the wing root. These bulges can be clearly seen in one of the primary reference photos. Also seen in the photos but missing from the kit are some hatches on the port side of the fuselage aft of the cockpit. It's a little disappointing to think that these little details have been missed by the manufacturer.
I'm thinking of completing the kit, including weathering, as components and leave joining wings to fuselage as one of the last steps. More to come later......
