Undersides ,,, there's an ugly big gap .... Fuselage misalignemet is being dealed with a part number tab from the sprues ... This very gap will be hiden by the undercarriage door.
Splitter plates and inside of air intakes painted with deep gloss blue enamel. I didn't remember gloss enamels took ages to dry .... God bless acrylic paints ! 😉

This is my proposal for fighting against Advanced Modeller Syndrome :
Retro-modelling
I enjoyed very much my retro Su-7 ... here you can check it : scalemates.com/profi..s&album=32182#42
So I've just taken another vintage kit from my stash and started another retro-project. This kit is very very old (1965 moulds) : basic cockpit, no wheel well details, rotating wheels, and of course , raised panel lines and lots of rivets.. I'm building it as much as I would have done in the early seventies, i.e. brush painted with Humbrol enamels, no putty and no wet-sanding. Internal details will be painted with acrylics ,,, I don't want to spend a lot of money on Humbrol tins. 😉
Let's see how it turns out ....
Decalling has been done .... Old decals have been resotred with Micro Decal Film, but I've not been able to get rid of the "yellowing" of the film.
