Must be the worst model of Hasegawa in 1/32 I've ever built. The old problem of the Hasegawa, with one mold, try to make different versions. The same applies to the model in 1/48 scale. I've also built one.

Image

Image

A fuselage that seems a lot of patchwork where they will fit the pieces for the different versions with a dubious fit.

Another piece, more putty, more sanding.

Image

Image

Here the windscreen with a 'frame' that does not exist. After sanding a bath with glossy varnish.
