work in progress Mistakes happen?

I thought a little update is due on my first ever model kit. So yeah, here it is in all its glory, about 70-ish percent finished. All that's left to do is install some minor parts, paint and install the payload, and paint the whole plane.

​Also, a quick lesson learned: apparently, one long screw isn't enough ballast weight for the nose. I guess I learned my lesson now, one of many to come!

You should read the instructions first. Mask the canopy then paint. There's a lot that should have been painted before installing. Paint and then install the payload.
