When I bought this kit, I thought it would take only an hour to build, as there were so few parts.  I was wrong!  MPM has come a long way, but fit problems still haunt them.  All of the interior parts for the pulsejet and cockpit fit fine, but the fit of the fuselage halves to one another left 1mm gaps in places.  Putty fixed these.  The upper and lower wing halves also gave me fits.  Even after sanding the mating surfaces of each, there were still gaps that had to be filled in the leading edges.  The ailerons (quite well molded and fragile) will hide any gaps on the trailing edge side.  I was left with the impression that the wings were too thick in cross section after I was done, but I lived with it.  I also found out that MPM has the wings mounted about 4-5mm to far back on the fuselage, so I filled the kit holes and drilled new ones and mounted the wings.  I added a pilot figure left over from the Tamiya Fw 190 D-9 to instill the limited confines of the cockpit.  The horizontal stabilizer went on without incident.  I assembled the Tamiya V-1 cart to display the Fi 103 on (surprisingly, it fits into the cart very well).

All paints were Model Master Acrylics.  I painted the entire airframe RLM 76 and then masked off the warhead and parts of the pulsejet and wings per the instructions and painted them RLM 83.  I then freehanded RLM 71 squiggles over the rest of the airframe.  I masked the canopy with Ambroid Liquid Mask and hand painted it.  Model Master Gloss was applied and the decals put on.  Since all I had to apply was stencils, I had the bright idea to dip the whole sheet in water with the idea that I could then apply all the decals without cutting so many small areas.  Big mistake!!!  All of the decals and their reference numbers immediately jumbled up to where I had no idea which was which.  To the rescue came the Monogram V-Missiles of the Third Reich.  It had a full schematic of what stencils went where (thankfully), and I applied them as such.  A shot of dull coat and I was done!
