I am slowing working forward on this kit. I wanted to show some of the finer details of the wings. The actual rivet details are about the best I have seen on any 1/32 kit. They are recessed but very fine and I would assume very close to scale in size. In reality, these rivets would be raised ever so slightly but when working on a model it’s very easy to sand down raised rivets while assembling the parts. You really can’t replace a raised rivet, it is possible with tools to re-draw recessed rivets if you happen to fill them by accident. In the galley below you can see various views of this kit’s wings. Click on any image to enlarge and start the Lightbox to view all of them.

On issue I had was with the ammo bay covers. You have the option to show these open or closed. I choose to leave them closed, however you still have to place both covers over the opening. The photo etch is very thin and slightly curved when it comes off the main photo etch sheet, so placing them in the exact location was not easy.

Used Ultra glue by “Ammo by Mig” to place these pieces. I knew that if I tried to use CA glue I would have problems since that type of glue would bond the photo etch to the plastic immediately. So if I happened to position the pieces incorrectly removing them would have been a problem. I placed the inner doors first, let them dry overnight, then placed the top door. Getting the inner door placed was the biggest problem as you don’t have much of an inner lip to put the part.

Not the best picture, you can see the very fine recessed rivet detail on this wing and the ammo bay door in place. The opening above the ammo bay door is for the 50 caliber machine gun.
