Thank you!

I've put very fine Evergreen under the canopy and glued all the little parts. Not easy to place... :-think

Problem of the canopy corrected. And I've used Vallejo Putty on other places and also to fill the gaps I made for armament I will not use...
One thing that is annoying for me: the wings are so thin that there are gaps for the whell legs... So I will have to place the wheel legs before painting... Unusual way to go for me...

Is it possible to fill the locating holes with small styrene plugs and then drill tiny holes and use wire to locate the landing gear legs?

Excellent idea Scott, but I think that the space is too thin...
I will take a look anyway

Yes, I'm thinking in 1/48 scale. Filling the holes and drilling for wire will only lead to new, smaller holes.

Well, after reflexion, best to do is to paint the undersurfaces; then to place the wheel legs; then putty and sanding on the uppersufaces and painting of the uppersurfaces.
The work begins with masking the wheel bays and the exhaust

Lacking of time actually...

But little progress: undersurfaces painted + some details

Your solution with the landing gear is the best in this case.
