GB : Academy Tempest V : The_Jackal

[The_Jackal]

My first ever entry entry into a Group Build.
Will be an out of the box build using an airbrush with Tamiya acrylics.
Have cleaned up all the bits, Kleared the canopy and sanded those wings so they fit together properly at the trailing edge. Used superglue with activator for the landing gear as they are very small and fiddly to line up and glue.
Was wondering whether to try and cut and position the elevators as a little bit of customisation.

Yep, it will be very wobbly even stock.
Anyone else noticed how the undercarriage covers are a completely different shape to the holes they are meant to cover? How are you meant to do a wheels up version?

Just an update.
Probably wont finish by tomorrow, but have all the undercarriage and doors painted, colour underneath and one of the top camo colours.
Will finish top camo tomorrow and post some pics.

Better late than never, all done. Nice kit to put together.
