And glued in the tub:
-
Ejection seat done, and in matte coating.

Found these 3 fuel tanks in my stash, top and lower are 72 and 48 scale drop tanks of an F-111. Thin fins which allow me to re-shape for the Viggen drop tanks.

Thanks, I checked the reference pictures and see you are correct. well, that will require some modification then, early enough to change it. Italeri would have been so kind to notify this in the instructions too.

Extension has not been made to fit yet, fuselage is into halves but will make pictures once cockpit is in and front fuselage part glued together.

Very nice pre weathering!

Thanks @Thadeus Cos there are enough Cats, Vipers and Hornets that are already built. This Swedish Thunderbolt deserves more builds!

And the ejection seat in gloss coating and first wash as well:

Working on the right side panels of the cockpit tube. Maestro pieces are excellent to fold and glue in place in 2 stages on the right hand side. Tub is also done with gloss coating and first wash.

Pre-shaded the fuel tank in 3 phases white, brown and tan yellow :

Very nice Corsair, love the details and weathering!

Great looking Growler, and love the heavy load-out.

And the hood in the primer, new side plates make a big difference. As there was totally no support for the hood, glued some sprue on for better fit once the fuselage is glued together and the hood can be glued in the pit:
