Ready for the first glossy varnish coating as preparation for the decals.

Looks very nice. How was the kit? As this one is on my wish list.

Thanks! To the kit, it´s good and clean to build, although the assembly of the engine with machineguns and the fitting into the fuselage is a little bit tricky. I suppose it´s easier when you display the hood open to show the engine. Since my son wants it to be shown flying I build and inserted the engine as training since the hood is closed. Had to use filler because a gap remained between hood and fuselage. Since the canopy can also displayed open, it´s divided in 3 parts, when building closed also a little bit tricky to fit. But, as I said, overall a nice to build kit. I will buy it a second time to build the alternative variant, but this time with hood open, since the engine is a nice job.

Finished. But, some things to remember: I must use less varnish and I have to find a way to protect the fresh painted model from dust.
