And the kit fits well so far. This is a fun build right now. I won't like going back to 300 piece kits but I will.

 

The cockpit tub and IP are installed.

I had very little sanding and filling to do so far. Now on to the bottom section of the fuselage.

The nose wheel bay has allot of detail even though not much will be seen.

This 35 year old kit has much to recommend. Now on to the main gear wells. Thanks for looking. :wave:

I'll bet it will be a struggle. Haven't test fit yet! :wmsmiley-poop-hits-the-fan:

The aft fuselage area gave me the most trouble, glued one side at a time to get it to fit.

I had to go to the "Rent a Clamp Store" to persuade the lower delta to mate properly with the upper delta.

Nice detail can be picked out in the main gear wells also.

The missile bay looks to be even better.

Back at the grind. I have the missile bay ready for missiles.

Exhaust can is attached

Found out at this point I had a tail dragger so a good amount of ballast was needed.

The all important fuselage to fuselage fit is next. :crying:

I got the upper & lower fuselage halves together. I would be telling a fib if I said it wasn't a struggle. Others here said it probably would be. Filling & sanding goes with it.

The intakes fit very good. I think the bad part is over.  Thanks for following. :clap2:

I haven't posted for a while. I needed some time away from Sanding & Filling the Revellogram.

The radome fit was far from stellar. More S & F.

Now I'm back at priming, sanding & filling then more of the same. It's like "Ground Hog Day"! Maybe I'll have paint on it by Thanksgiving.
