Well after the dr surgically removed the seat in the kit I painted up the resin replacement and think it looks ok.
I have also glued the wings and the fuel tanks ( lots of dry fitting and nothing is really amiss ( there maybe a little filler here and there but heho that's modelling.
About to seal up the two halfs
Cockpit was a dream to put the pe in once sanded down smooth. The rear of the cockpit tub was cut away to insert the resin seat,and I was thinking about putting a blank in there of plasticard but there is an apron that goes over the cockpit for the canopy to sit on and so this seals any gaps..... Result
Weapons bay was simple two colour Hellgrau and Anthracite but I'll try and spruce this up with some dry brushing and do some wiring too near the undercarriage as I have a wide selection of ref pics to use
The front nose air intake has a splitter and in the instructions it said part 33 attach to this but could I find part 33
Well I never thought of looking in the clear parts??
Pretty much a simple case now of adding the rear jet nozzle
Oh weights it says to add 20g so I got to 50 just to be sure it's no tail sitter
Oh and the weapons turned up today
Pics and comments welcome

Going great guns Robert, make sure that extra weight doesn't over stress the nose gear.Comment
