Some additions - fuel tanks, ECM pods, landing gear. Still some more weapons to finish and fit.

I have this one to start but have been looking at the canopy as I thought this one had a mould line that runs across it?

Yes, the mould seam is a pain but it can be polished out with micro mesh and polishing compound.
