Good progress Ian, looking good :smiling4:

It seems a very nicely detailed cockpit.

Got the wings fitted and found a large gap in the wing root. All filled with plasticard.

Still plenty of work to get it smooth and looking good.

Missed this Ian - sorry. I like these Eduard kits. Your cockpit looks great so the missing stuff is not a problem. Neat canopy masking, something I hate doing. Looking fine under the primer.

Ian

Missed the paint going on. That's really looking rather good indeed.

Very well done.

Ian, even before it is finished it looks superb in its paint finish, and despite the problems you have come through with top marks.
