That's going to be a challenge for such a ham-fisted person, like me 😄 

Surprisingly, there were some sinkmarks that needed filling... 

Both airframes ready. I drilled holes for the rigging before glueing wings and undercarriage...but this will be a challenge, I suppose. 

Ready for masks. Next to the matchstick head are transparent canopies... 

I used the vinyl masks provided with the kit on the R-1, but the ones for the fuselage did not work well - masks are quite stiff and the adhesive is weak... 

Thus, for the fuselage masks for the R-2 I cut them from the Tamiya kabuki tape, using the ones from the kit as a pattern. 

After some touch-ups. 

Ready for decals. 

I have managed not to loose any of the canopies to the carpet monster. Also I have installed them both. Hoooray! 

Decalling underway...

R-1 finished - lesson learned... I will try to finish R-2 better... 

Obligatory photo with a matchstick 

...and with a bottle of paint 

 

 

Not the best, but better than the model of R-1
