I got the same impression. As for the exhausts, if the ones in the sample build are supposed to represent the tubular stacks, drilling them out wouldn't be a big deal. If they're supposed to resemble the "fishtails," then not even close. Can't remember whether or not -Es ever had fishtails. If not, it's academic.

Those exhaust stacks look pretty underwhelming. Wonder if they're just temporary blanks (different color styrene).

Of course, whether or not most of us would be able to discern the difference on a model is another story. FWIW, I like SMS Premium paints very much.

Trainer Yellow is likely to be the WW2 shade, not postwar.

Definitely appealing! Any idea when they'll appear on the market?

The descriptor of the In-Progress Pics sub-forum: "This forum is posting pics of your just finished model or in-progress pics of your current build." Other options are The Display Case and Critique Corner, both for photos of completed models.

Why isn't this in the In-Progress Pics sub-forum?

Beyond what I consider the snarkiness of your response to my and WymanV's posts, I don't understand what you're proposing. Could you elucidate further please?

Thanks for the clarification.

IMHO two-piece wings are going to complicate rigging for those of us who do pilot hole/through hole approach with monofilament.

Is there an issue with Tamiya's fin? If so, can somebody elucidate? Thanks!

Can someone explain what's going on with the wing parts in the photo ya-gabor posted? Looks like a one-piece upper wing, but what are the three pieces to its right? (Sorry if I'm being obtuse)

I've been waiting a long time for a good F4B-4 in 1/48. Hope this one fits the bill.

For those interiors, I start with white and streak with Soot colored Tamiya Weathering Master (set B).

I'll be getting to my copy sooner or later and will probably ignore them. I seldom display my models upside down.
