I leave this kit in HHQ so that I can build it during the chat-chat sessions...

The progress are solely the build result in HHQ. (few weeks...months?) Expect a slow WIP on this, Only paint work will be done at home.

overall fitting should be not problem
be careful with the PE , is so fragile
and the Pe instruction a bit confusing.
do eduard have PE parts for this spanish
Centauro for replacement.

Jimbo,
I have no problem on that, my Lav came out promissing.

Seeliang,

Sil,
Fitting ok lar, bit of minor trimming and sanding only, no major gaps so far.

Scud b,
