Pictures later. So far the plastic is so much better than the Wildcat, but soft like the Goose I just finished. Still a lot of flash. Hope the decals are ok.

Pictures when I feel like it.

Question and/or poll...Flaps are not positionable. Should I cut them out?
Not much done. Just some stuff that can't be ignored.
Some decent molded in detail. I got a sheet of 1/48 cockpit decals today. May use them on this
The rest is some interior green on the fuselage and some flat black on the cockpit sidewalls.

Cockpit
Tamiya tape seat belts. Tamiya paint "buckles" and yes, I reattached the one side that has popped up.

Sure... Cut the flaps out, add a leading edge to them, and drop 'em.

Ok, this is all on Stikpusher now! Mashed up some Miliput. I've only tried it one other time and not much luck. I don't think I kneaded it enough. I hope it adheres to the plastic. It didn't seem to want to stick to the flaps.

Just remember: Everything is possible with your trusty Binford Tools.
Even more powerful leading edges!
