Well, you wont have a problem making up your mind about the scheme, will you?

No. Just getting it to fit will be enough work.

I have considered long whether to open the canopy, at last, I have decided to don't add any detail in the cockpit and leave the canopy closed.
You're lucky for the decals, very lucky.

This is all useful info and is gladly gleaned from you Toby as I intend to blitz the later boxing of this kit sometime this month.
Regards
Mark

I'm thinking of cross pollinating the wings and nacelles from one of the SH kits for the Airfix ones such is the horribleness of the Airfix nacelles. Alternatively I could take up 24 hour sanding and filling

Plenty of decal choices now I would think!

Update. Interior scrapped. It went horribly wrong. I'm going for Laura Ashley scatter cushions and some Chintz curtains

Sorry to hear that, Toby; it's always a pain when that happens. Never mind - you can do even better this time!

Already showing positive signs of a far better one than before.

New cockpit and sanded engine nacelles.

All now primed and the cockpit has had a coat of interior green

The new cockpit. A great improvement over what was before. Just need the IP installled then the fuselage will be joined up

Wings on. The positioning of the nose has proved problematic. Nothing clear on the instructions( they were printed on parchment and were in Aramaic so may have degraded a bit

) as to what goes where and only after a lot of research I think I got it right. If not I'll fill and reorganise. Exhausts drilled out on nacelles. Going for a dark earth and dark green top camou pattern with black underside on the port wing and Sky on the rest.
