boy this is a troublesome kit. the wings do not meet to the fuselage, and you have to cut of holes for the windows, and accessories. So here is where I am at

whoa! these newer airfix do buildup nicely though...looking forward to seeing what you'll end up with! :D
 
Great choice of a kit. :)

Take your time with it (the gaps), try filling in the gap with some scrap styrene before you putty. A little TLC and she'll look great.
 
Yeah, take your time with it. Keep in mind that this isn't one of the "new" Airfix kits, just a new box for one of their older kits.
 
thanks for the replies, i have fixed the problem, i used .25mm evergreen sheets. I took some pictures, except we have 3 identical cards and some how the one i was using got "lost", so ya. i have a coat of primer, and currently thinking how i am going to paint this plane.
 
so I kinda lost momentum with this build, I am a little bit troubled. So began gluing the propeller together, and I glued the wrong three in the wrong slots. So does any one know what thins Tamiya thin cement? My other trouble spot is paint. I have no idea how I will do it. so if any one could help that would be great.
