Nice looking kit, looks good quality too. Should make up into a lovely build.

[Alan 45]

Yes mate it is it's a shame they never made the pilot with the same quality

Problem is is that figures with detail are more difficult to sculpt but saying that in 1/32 I would expect a bit more definition and quality.

I agree mate and if they had done the pilot like this one in the MK VII View attachment 77966

A bit beyond my skill level I'm sad to say but thanks for letting me know , in the future it might just be an option

Cock pit and pilot done , the pilot was devoid of any detail so I didn't bother with any View attachment 77968

Ok this is moving along faster than I thought !

Nose is now glued and cockpit is in place , I've painted the grill inside nose with anthracite grey then I will dry brush some steel over it to give it some depth View attachment 77981

View attachment 77982

Engine section complete and have painted the intakes , might give the inside a DB of steel View attachment 77983

View attachment 77984

thrusters have a coat of anthracite and then will give it a DB of steel

Coming along a cracking pace Al! Looks super though and the pilot doesn't look half bad either.
