I just remember that I am plastic modeler so I have to build something. Building of Talon give me nice chance to test two products, one is Ultimate Rocket Plastic Glue and another one is Colla 21 Gel. Both products are great but I have so high impression about the Colla super glue- first tube ever fill up to the top. All super glue I buy in past was 3/4 fill with air and at the end start glue flow. Both glue have excellent work properties

Maybe I was not careful enough so I need to feel some small gaps on kit. So, blame on my side, not on kit, kit is so precise. Note on second image small towel. It is so called wet towel, most known use is for travel and baby care. I take out one, let it dry and use it to clean kit surface. Just pour a bit of liquid (in this case airbrush cleaner) and it greatly clean of surface, better then anything else. Cotton and paper could leave some traces and particles of material, this one not. Recommend, try it.

Thanks here is progress Now one negative point to the kit- in some unknown reason, split line of the molds going over mid of the cockpit elements. Somewhere join line is visible and somewhere not. No idea why they did it like this. For this kit I decide to use spray, far easy and fast to do and as well it blow much more paint then any of our airbrush, I did painting from two tiny coats and result is very good.
