Italeri 1/48 Hawk T Mk.1 #3

Installed the small parts inside the fuselage and glued the two halves together. I used Green Stuff putty this time as filler. The seams alone the fuselage isn't too bad, but there is step between the bottom wing and the fuselage which need to deal with before assembling. The air-intake require some filing too but nothing major. 

I have applied a coat of Gaia 071 (grey-white) on the gear wells before gluing the upper and lower wings together.

When installing the ailerons, the instruction has messed up the outer link with the inner link parts. Just swapped the two parts on each side would be fine. 
Installed horizontal stabiliser and be sure to have the same angle on both side. There are also small fins and parts to add to the airframe. 
Scribed the panel lines for the area which has been sanded down with a 0.2mm chisel.
