well done with a challenging kit - I have never done a full resin kit so hats off to you

It's not that bad of a kit; it is a bit worse than other AV resin kits - poor fit of the cockpit in the fuselage, NO positive attachment for the fuselage to wing joint (just two flat faces) very brittle (in my example) vacuformed canopy and delicate unreinforced resin landing gear.

I used museum wax under the nose gear and that holds it down. The main gear is slightly flattened, but there's just no overcoming the weight of the tail.
