Some final details of construction are worked :
- Take care of the seams : engine hood, plate covers, belly ...
- For the air intake behind the cockpit, it had to take off the tabs, put a wedge below, glue back together and fill the seam (with two-component modeling glue and putty). After a good sanding, lines are engraved.
- For the wings, there was a gap of a good millimeter in some place (that I had not took car about during gluing, as I was focused to not brake the optical fibers).

- Fill a sink marks on the cheeks of air inlets
