Just to give you an idea of what I'm up against...

And here you can see the sink marks a bit better....I've started sanding the RH side windows. The LH side is done for now - I sanded the marks off the inside, then separated the windows into individual pieces. This will allow me to position them proud of the fuselage, then sand them flush.

I've got one of these kits and I'm admiring your work and know what you're up against. It will take me a while to get over making the Aurora Jet Commander so I probably won't work up the courage to have a go at this one for a while.

There's a few minor issues that I've found so far, the worst probably being the windows. The nacelles didn't *quite* want to line up - nothing a touch of sanding won't fix - the wing roots are going to need some work, and there's a gap in the nose wheel well. Other than that (so far) it's not too bad a kit.

Almost done with the LH windows....they're still a touch proud of the fuselage, and need more cleanup, but they're looking good.....at least to my eye ;)

COming along slowly, nice to see the care you are taking with the window fit Damo.

I think I have a couple of these hiding in the stash. Should try and find them :D

LH windows done, RH on the way. I had a little difficulty positioning the RH windows because I sanded a little too much around the edges, so they fell through the openings. Yes, I dropped all 3 windows at one time or another....but the carpet monster must've been on holiday..

Yes it would have been on holiday if it was a Queensland Carpet Monster as it was a long Weekend this Weekend.

Nice work. Of all the Kits I've got I don't think I've got one of these but paying close attention in case I have and live long enough to make it.
