Yeah it looks better and the engine covers don't fit anyway there to short lol

I think I've been luck with this as ive not faced some of the horror stories I've read about this kit

, and my Stuka has arrived only I can't have it until my birthday

Cheers peter , I've given it a black wash and now I don't know if I should leave it , highlight it or give it a wash of rust so it looks like the exhausts View attachment 85430

Looks fine! If is acrylic and isn't dry yet, take a sponge and "sand", you will have s nice final effect

Unfortunately Polux it's dry , I wonder if a dry brush just to give it some depth and then a very weak rust wash so it discolours the shiny bits

I'm sure tamiya do a 1/24 F1 pit crew? They're just mechanic figures in overalls, so they'd probably look ok.

My mistake, it's a rally crew View attachment 85433

Cheers Patrick , if they don't work I'll have to buy a Subaru kit :D

Thanks again

Final update for this project

This is a good kit to build not much wrong with it really iff you take into account how old it is , no major fit issues and my biggest problem was the fuselage , it was twisted towards the tail plane and the front dipped butt superglue sorted that out View attachment 85519

Andy well done mate this is a beauty and a nice size too, I like how you have left the covers off of the gun bays and engine, this looks really nice.
