I've finally cleared my bench of a few group builds that were getting near their deadlines and made a start on this one. :)

Nose weight added and the interior painted.

I've rescribed the wings as the panel lines were very shallow compared to the fuselage.

Fuselage together and wings on.

Cheers :)

I spent a bit of time correcting the shape of the fin and gun muzzle before fitting the undercarriage doors and pylons over the last couple of days.

I added a bit of detail to the seats, not that you can see much of them once the canopy is on.

Canopy masked and fitted.

I managed to get most of the painting done Saturday night and Sunday morning, unfortunately my tablet threw a wobbly and decided to corrupt the files, so I've no photos of that stage. :( Here it is with the decals on...

The decals are from a Revel kit apart from the red fuselage band and the intake warnings from the spares box.

The intake warnings were cobbled together from 5 different decals. Two strips of red with separate "JET", "WARNING" and "DANGER" decals on top! :mental:
