So I went through and looked at what needed to be painted white. I also looked at the landing gear and wheels. The kit tires are crap. Hardly any detail and no tread and I don't like how they go together. Ordered some Eduard resin wheels.

Oh man, how I hate tire halves. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Smart move on getting Aftermarket tires. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:
