Good guess Carlos, but unfortunately not so fancy things...
I ordered paint for the RAF camo and it has arrived !
Now the work can continue!
There is that something testfitting the canopy, which in this case has a very good fit !
I start to like the Airfix kit more and more and.. yes, I think even more than the Eduard kit!

Quick Kari, go take a cold shower and sober up! You’re not an Englishman, you can’t like the Airfix kit more!
Seriously though, that’s looking good! I can’t wait to see some color on the bare plastic.

I'm glad to hear that you're having a much better building experience than I did Kari - It's looking really good.
I do agree, the clear parts are excellent for clarity, I didn't even bother dipping mine in Future.
