I have received for my birthday a new model kit: Unicraft 1/72 resin Messerschmitt P.1079/1 (see http://www.unicraft.biz/germ/me1079/me1079.htm ). My project is to build it asymetric, with the jet lateral and not above…

Hello Olivier...
We have the same age, living in the same country, are you sure you are not building a P.1079/1 like me? Please check what you are working on Grin

(slowly) step2: putty is on.
I consider building it as forward swept, to increase the what-if side of it Blink

Sanding well advanced.
