72nd RS Models Me 309 - first look in-box build review (2)

Looking more and more like a cross between a P-47 and a P-51 here is more progress on the new RS models Me 309.  Having cut out the rudder and horizontal stabilisers these are now re-attached. The canopy has also had the folding hood cut out, although I'm not sure if this was a good idea since the plastic is very thick. Brief thoughts of smash-molding a new one put to one side. Well at least the fit is better with the canopy in three sections. Primer on and almost ready for paint.
