Great work, Letipapa!
It seems that this detailing madness got you really hard , and you're right - the most important thing is that YOU KNOW its' inside, no matter is it visible or not
For forgotten parts - don't worry, it happens from time to time to everybody, just have to slow down the rush to get the model assemblied as quick as possible

Carry on, soldier, it's fine work you did so far

Hi mates, Hi Letipapa, 

The manner you assembled the forgotten parts is perhaps better than on the original kit... Assembling is far better ! 

Cheers,

Thanks mates  your support is precious.

Now, I had a mess of different obligations these days, so I'll continue little bit after, but I expect our dear tank and Samuraj77 will post some of their progress here (although, who knows how many different models they are doing right know )

Hi mates, 

Here are better photos of NV 994 :

This photo was taken by Charles Brown along the Dortmund-Ems Kanal, near the little city of Riesenbeck, on 18 April 1945 :

An extreme close up doesn't permit to read the serial, but it's possible there is a digit 2 in it :

Some little progress from my side (BTW, last night, I posted this completely wrong on "Mystere IV A" theme, so if somebody sow that, I apologize. No.1 sow it , and now I corrected this; was so tired so my concentration slipped away).

OK, what I did is that I sprayed model with layer of Al silver to see all wrong things, and there was a lot.

And here are results of  first putting and sanding. Some lines have to be cut in anew, and still some putting and sanding is necessary.

You are right- Mystere does not look like Tempest, Tempest is better look like Tempest

I decided to put more putty (this time I'm going to check use of ordinary car putty), and I made special light tool for that (phot.1-5)
 First I worked on wing and fuselage joints which I surrounded with protective paper tape due to not destroy paneling when sanding (phot.6-8)
As I used more putty than I needed, I saved the hardened rest for future - it is good fore some explosion debris. I already have lot of such material (phot.9-11).

And more sanding, and then I cut off the air door on the rear underside of the air intake. I'll make new one in opened position.

I give my best!

I did some panel re scribing, and I had problem with parts of putty falling off in the areas of wing roots, I did whole upper wing surface panels, so now I can have little more putty (in this wing root area) to correct what is necessary, and than, again putty and again sanding but this time without fear.
