And as you can see from the instructions - the cockpit is highly detailed...

I believe the correct phrase would be authentic detail

. It is a nice kit otherwise.

Good man.

Thanks OT,

I managed to get the pilot painted, and the fin on too this morning before I went for a walk with my wife and kids (teaching my daughter to read an OS map and use a compass).

Hopefully I'll get another coat on the cockpit and pilot tomorrow so I can close up the front fuselage, then it should go together quite quickly as it's only really two sprues.

Anyway - it's Saturday night - I'm off to drink wine and relax now

A dangerous combination.

Nice work so far SirT

Wine and models mmmmmm might have to try that!

Thanks Toby!

Bit more work has been done, I've filled/sanded the rear seam line and put back the missing panel lines, and I've painted the pilot...

My inner whiffer is telling me to do this in RAF Green/Grey wrap-a-round camo a'la Jaguar, with maybe SNEB Rocket pods...

Me too. It promotes the flow of creative juices.

And it makes my models look better.........., temporarily

Now that would be something different.

Made some progress - assembled the rear section...

Overall the fit was really good, as you would expect? Although I did have to do a bit of filling and rescribing towards the rear.

I've also taped the nose together to test fit some PE I want to add to the cockpit...

Nice. That looks far superior to the Academy copy of this kit. Much cleaner details.
