Hmm, I should have read this topic earlier. I'm building the Heller Mirage 2000N 1/48 kit.
This is the same kit as this Eduard kit without the PE parts, resign seats and has other decals. Also the sprue is brown and not gray.
I have run into the same frustrating gaps problems, but a lot of putty solved it well .
I have done the painting part and have chosen for sand camo.
Especially in this part it would be nice if I had read this topic before. I sprayed the camo freehand so there is a bit to much overspray, but i can live with that. Its my first sprayed camo model. I will use the masking
