RuiVery nice!
I have the same kit on the bench right now. Once I finish the P-47 I'm working on I'm doing a Thunderjet and after that The A-7, All in Força Aérea Portuguesa livery. Hope it turns out a good as yours.
What was the fit like and is there anything to watch out for in the build; I ask because I have never build a Fujimi aircraft before.

Andrew PThe only really tricky problem with fit was the intake trunk. I assembled both halves so I could clean up the inside seam, then snapped the assembled scoop into place. Results were good.

RuiThanks Andrew, much appreciated. I hadn't even thought I would have to cleanup the intake trunk. Makes sense given the fact this warbird has a rather large opening, therefore one could see deep into the air channel.
