I painted the instrument panel with Model Master Black Chrome, and
filled the dial faces with a dark grey, and then over-coated the faces
with Alclad Gloss Clear. I can see I need to touch up some of the areas
around
the gauges in the pictures. It looked great while I was doing it, as
usual. The panel will be very hard to see with a closed canopy.
There is no real alignment left and right for the fuselage on the wing. It
looked easier
to glue the nose on the wing first, as it at least had some guide rails on
the wing. I think building the short nose version will be difficult
because of this because the nose comes in three parts and has no fit to
the leading edge of the wing.
