The seam lines have been sanded and colour match sprayed over outside of the mould. You can still see them but as there is so much detail on the model in terms of rivets, panel lines and hatches etc you just don't notice them. Once the model is dirtied up with some weathering I don't see it being a problem.

As the first one shipped my one wasn't done but the nose will have the matt black anti glare painted on. This is done outside of the mould so that gets rid of that seam line so the only one left partially visible from the top is from the back of the cockpit to the fin and thats the one CARF have attended to.

I have ordered touch up paints for all the colours from CARF as if there is anything that needs a touch up I have the matched colours on hand.

I can't wait to start assembling !!!
