Here's my startup.

Will be out of box on this and one of the box schemes. Might do the one where I have to do the sponge camo, I think that's neat.

Say Bob, I still have the piece of foam liner I used to do that mottle. if you want some of it let me know. Id be happy to send you a chunk.

Thanks Greg, I got several types of sponge that should take care of this. I'll do a couple of test runs before committing.

They do look good Bob, the sponge sizes I used to give you an idea, you will need to dab the wet sponge a few times on paper towel on a dry section, then once on a flat piece of plastic card, that will give you a good indication of the result, then apply to the kit. Less paint is better.

Shake shake shake...shake shake shake...shake your tamiya...
Ok that doesn't rhyme like Booty but it's really shaking out of the box nicely

Kit decals for the IP, they snugged down nicely, little off in a spot or two but i'll have the canopy closed anyway so no biggy.

So what's up with this massive gap back here?
The leading edge and wing root are nice and snug, no issue but I got like .5mm gap back here. Is this an issue with this kit or did I screw up something else?

No you didn't screw up Bob, just proof that Tamiya engineers are really human after all.

Good, thanks Ian, glad I don't have to bust this thing up to close it then.
