Nice and clean, a real silver beauty! How easy was the kit, it's been tempting me for a while now?

Thank you guys.
@ Clement: It was more work than I expected. But certainly also due to my inability…
I definitely found it more difficult to build than the Airfix double-seater. But for a single-seater version, the Special Hobby kit is the best option. The kit has a good fit overall.
The only „hotspot" are the twin-booms. Here you need a careful preparation. I didn't manage to use the original locating pins and fashioned my own, made out of albion alloy tubes. (Which made in turn the tail a bit heavier…)
And as last advice, place as much weight as possible in the forward section, everywhere you can!
