Lets see...the accessory bay and cowling construction is a nightmare. the blisters of the canons on the wing root don't fit, think there's aftermarket to fix that. If you build it up as a open panel showcase you're ok. The engine was really nicely detailed and I remember the stacks being a bear to install, they even supply a little jig to help alignment. But i've seen it build up nicely and I probably should revisit it. But not any time soon! :pilot

Ah yes, the kit from Hell. There's a back story to this, I got the kit in a Christmas gift exchange several years ago. The kit sat in my stash until Bob and I arranged a trade, which I must say, worked out better for me. :unsure: Anyhoo, the person who gave the gift at the exchange came over to me and said "That's a great kit, you'll enjoy building it." Not sure what he had been smoking, but it sure wasn't the case. Guess I need to give the Pupster another kit to make him crazy, I mean, make up for that one. :D :rotf
 
Hubert, I ordered the kit Thursday, it was picked up Friday afternoon and delivered to my door at 10:30AM Saturday!

This is Hasegawa's re-boxing of Sector's Fiat G.50 with Finnish markings. I made sure all parts were sealed and the windscreen, formation lights, decals, and instructions were inside.

Regards,
 
Part of my order came in...

Good Day Folks!

Just received this kit, it's the Trumpeter Soviet Aerosan RF-8/GAZ-98. Me lady picked this up for me, I mentioned to her the other day, that I wanted to do some sort of "Winter-Diorama" I think this is going to be a unique build. This is my first kit with photo-etch parts, it will also be my first winter scene diorama.
