The actual model is significantly better that the photos shown especially
the details inside the cockpit.

On a similar note I started using Bowlus "glider tape" also known as "speed
tape" for the small gaps where the wing/fuselage connect, where the wing
tips connect to the wings and underneath the fuselage to cover
the different inspection panel gaps. With the tape I show a 2kts increase
in IAS.
I ordered 3 rolls of the 2" size since I knew I was going to mess up a
little until I figured out how to do it correctly. BUT I would up selling
one roll to a friend qith an RV-4 and still have one roll left over. Here
is a link to where I got it:
