That's coming along very well.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I've got the heavy fighter in the stash if you need any ideas or part checks let me know. Also have 2 C nightfighters the P that's being done here and the A balloon cutter

That would be great! Just to compare the sprues and assembly instructions. I know that there are lots of unused parts on the sprue layout page.

Thanks so much guys!

Fuselage and tail are together. There was a slight step along the fuselage join, and it was a tight fit around the cockpit getting the halves together. Not sure if it was the kit or me (probably me). But, just a little bit of sanding and good as new.

I have a question for the hive mind. The directions call for some clear parts that go into the nacelles. I can't for the life of me figure out what they are. Are they some kind of gauge or indicator? I'm not too worried about installing them after paint, I just don't know what they are or what parts of them (if any) need to be painted. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
