Ip is done and fitted,such a nice fit no glue needed, also painted the headrest as i forgot it earlier. New canopy arrived today, only the postman didnt leave it with my neighbour like i asked and took it back to the post office and hes coming to do the same again tomorrow! So probably be Saturday before i can go pick it up, still at least its here.

Need a gloss coat to seal in the decals but looking at the wing tanks thought i would get them done first ,the mounts are some etch pieces of which are the only option then realising they are going to be fragile expecially when the tanks are mounted ,the only way im not gonna keep knocking them off i was to fit the landing gear,did want to do this after all the painting was complete but hey ho! A little scrape with a blade here and there and there in. Moral of this story is to attach the tanks to the pylons first then fit to the wing.......as per instructions :rolling: [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1185516[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1185515[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1185514[/ATTACH]

Exceptionally way of paying attention to detail looks very impressive Mark
