Is there more ordnance to add beneath the wings Chris? I see two holes each side.

Looks crisp Chris, nice work
HI PETE them holes are to fit the main inner engines mounts to the wing s an near that wing end there are two more holes to fit in the outer engines as i dont think she needs any more ordnance as she has enough nukes to destroy half the world no need to go into over kill is there eh but lets just hope it never happens AN PETE REGARDS THAT MICROSOL LIQUID WHEN I BRUSH IT ON THE DECALS HOW LONG BEFORE IT DREIES SO I CAN DIP THE DECAL IN THE WATER ?
ATB SIR

Thanks for the info Chris. The instructions say to leave that liquid decal film to dry for 15 minutes, but I'm sure longer wouldn't hurt

Chris,
You are doing a bang up job of this mate, she is really taking shape.

Looking good Chris. Given the escape capsule probably won't be seen in any real detail, I would leave it out and close the canopy.
I would go for the closed canopy option Chris. The plane has very sleek lines and the closed canopy would emphasis that sleekness if that makes sense.
HI Joe yes im thinking like you are sir an thanks for your thoughts BUT i dont really want to leave out the ejection seat an escape capsule so im takein the middle route an i have cut off the bottom of the ejection seat so the seat an escape capsule will fit in lower so the canopy will fit in the closed postion but many thanks for your thoughs sir an reply an today is MAKE OR BREAK DAY REGARDS THEM DECALS as im goin to try an fit some on the engines firstly an i will keep an eye on them to make sure they dont just float off an curl up so i will be like a cat on hot bricks an as soon as i think they are ready then i will wip them out holding backin paper to fix to plane
( phew ) BOY AM I GOIN TO SHAKE LOL

YES you are right Steve as that what i was thinking an YES what you have said is like joe has said it will give it the sleek sinister look of what im tryin to do with this model just like the real plane when i see one in real at RAF COLTISALL airshow back in the early 70 's it looked frightning an big just like a shark in shape they really had their heads screwed on at convair when desinghnig this great PITY she was only in service for 10 yrs before she was scrapped an i think that the US - AIRFORCE made a big mistake scrappin her as she was a plane before her time AN SHE WAS A PLANE THAT BROKE ALL THE RULES
ATB SIR
