Huge steps forward

After finishing cockpit, I was able to finally start working on the body of the aircraft. Did the usual stuff, added wings, joined fuselage and other. The kit fitted together really nicely. Then I also completed the main engine parts, so I could get some idea of the final look, and man it was an experience. First time working on resin to such an extend (did brassin cockpit for mig 29 in past, but I am not that proud of that one) pretty happy with it finally put together. Then I worked on flaps, which were fine (only on one side, I am planning on showing the final model with different parts opened and closed to show variety) but I misunderstood instruction, and it took my a while to figure out I am supposed to grind away substantial amount of plastic to fit them in. No worry happy with final result, but what can I do about it. Will remember next time. And then the machine gun bay. I did a big mistake with taking the wrong wing and cutting out a hole for the bay. Only later I found out I did it on the wrong side. So had to do it again (better this time) and then did some repair work on the first cut. Will se how it will look under primer and probably will do more repairs (more filling and riveting).
