Not many parts here. Removing the casting block from the main fuselage/wings part is not that easy task nevertheless...

The instructions advice to put 10 grams of weight into the nose, but there is not much room there - I managed to insert ca. 5 grams... hope this will be enough to prevent tailsitting.

Some heavy duty equipment was necessary...

Shiny! I am going to use AK Super Gloss Ceramic Varnish to protect it.

Something went wrong 😭... The varnish is advertised as the best for metallic finishes, with outstanding levelling qualities, to be applied with a brush. It is quite thick and smells like a varnish for wood floor. The Xtreme metal paint cured for more than 48 hours... All the paint needs to be removed...
