I have been pulling together the cockpit, some pics.
I have found some warping of the wings.
I started some fettling to fit the resin ailerons but when checking I found that there would be some serious problems matching the warped wing to the resin. By using the kit ailerons i only have the warping to contend with so regretfully I put aside the resin as the added complications of making them fit the warped wing was not worth the effort. I will improve the appearance of the kit parts with some sanding to tone down the detail.
You can see here the warping.
The wing itself is slightly misshapen.
I am going to have a fair bit of work to improve the appearance. It will never be perfect though. This is the problem with these cheap Revell kits (and larger Airfix) the cheap plastic is very prone to this.
