Well, I may still go back a bit and shorted the undercarriage some more, but for now, I'm saying they're done

Realised I hadn't done the brown over the canopy!

Fit of parts of these little kits is fine, though you can see the canopy needs adjusting, as do the undercarriage legs, which are 2-3 mm too long, which really shows in the side views, though it's less obvious with the belly tanks fitted
Still, turned out okay' Just have to remember all the adjustments I need to make with each build!

What's interesting is that the Iraqi one probably ended up in Iranian service, among the hundred-or-so 'planes that fled across the border during First Gulf!
