The fit of all of these parts was
really great and after inserting
50 grams of fishing weight right
below the front deck, the belly
panel was glued in place. I did needsome putty but it was minimal,
and with the fuselage complete I
could move on to the next stage.
The four engines are really nice.
The engine fan received a coat of
titanium and the exhaust area was
painted in burnt metal. Again the
assembly of these components was
easy and I put them aside until
the end of the building process.
Some test-fitting and small
adjustments were needed to
the wing to ensure a good fit
with the fuselage, but the fit“REVELL’S ENGINEERING
