Thanks guys, Tony it’s not that fast really there’s not much to the cockpit and it builds really well, it’ll slow down when I start to put it all together no doubt.

Got the wings fitted, and what a fit it is. Nothing wrong here at all.

Hi Ian
Missed this - sorry. Looks a very nice kit. Is it one of Airfix's newer kits? The detail and fit looks good.
Great start on the cockpit. Using the Lion Roar belts was well worth it.

Hi Jim welcome aboard. Yes it's one of there new kits, and it's building very well indeed. I haven't used any filler at all yet

[papa 695]

This weekends work, got the canopy masked and painted the internal colour. Also got the gun turret built and painted and got the main body ready for some paint.
