Today I've glued the fins and engine intakes on.The intakes had some ejector pin marks that needed filling in first.I've also been sanding the joins.The parts fit on this kit is very good.Its only needed a little squadron green around the rear fuselage joins and a bit of Mr Surfacer 500 on the wing and forward fuselage joins.Going to fit the conformal fuel tanks to the fuselage sides next.

Long conformal fuel tanks glued to each side of the fuselage.These are an excellent fit.If Revell were to include bombs with this kit it would be near perfect.

Coming along nicely Dave, it's a big model by the looks of it, even in 1/48.

polux, the lead is to keep the plastic model sitting on all its wheels as most kits have a tendancy to sit on their tails when built, basically it is usually added as close to the front of the model as possible to keep the front end down.

I forgot to put some in the nose.So I had to put it just behind the cockpit

Looking good.

The lead is to keep the nose wheel down Polux. A lot of the larger modern jet kits are heavy in the tail and the nose wheel lifts.

The ballast is not just applicable to modern jets, but almost anything with a tricycle landing gear configuration.
