I figured I would go with this unsung hero.

So I started by filling in the most obvious issue, the huge sink mark in the fuselage. I sanded it a bit and shot some primer over it to see if I need to do more FSR.
I also spent some time masking the canopies and assembled and painted the engine.
Not much done today but maybe more to come by Thursday.

That is looking great. A pity that Accurate Miniatures went bust. I think it was because of their line of car models, especially the licensing fees and slow sales of the McLaren kit.

Very nice Paul. I look forward to your progress. I miss Accurate Miniatures too. Academy boxes a few of these beauties with very inflated prices to boot.
