I managed to find photos of the interior so the two IP’s are now fairly accurate, the two cockpits are all glass with a right hand side joystick, so easy enough to fabricate. Still using the mig seats and the ordinance from my Esci set.

As it currently sits.

Just about paint ready. The Mwari has a third set of hard points inboard of the booms with fuel tanks, toying with the idea of adding these, might as well go for broke :) 

 

Paint next…

Getting the decals trimmed  and on puts me at at least 95% done :) 

 

What’s left:

 

1. finish the interior

2. struts for the canopy 

3. blades and antennae 

4. those wing lights

5. one or two small cleanup jobs

Wish they were really being used today though. 

As far as I know Mozambique has bought a few although America has eliminated them from the contest for a new COIN aircraft.
