Ligier JS-5 (flying teapot)

[Guest]

I have this kit as well and liked it a lot when it arrived! Both resin and WM parts are a way cleaner than AMD, which is a big plus. Matra engine is below the "tea pot" air intake, the sides of the engine can be detailed and will be visible of couse when the kit is finished!
There are a few mistakes and drawbacks, the shape of the "teapot" for example, there is a sharp edge on the upside, and should be rounded, ventilation holes on the top of the sidepods are a way wrong, sides of the cockpit, front wing need a few corrections, to name some.
But the quality of the kit is great!
Unfortunately it doesn't contain CD with reference photos like previous kits from Orange House...

Started working on this one.

Have a question that hopefully one of you wise men can answer, maybe even with photographic evidence. OK, the question: Are the buldges which form the areas directly facing the front wheels solid in appearance on the vertical face, or would you see a hollowed effect with just fibre-glass 'edges' visible?

Thanks,
