Got the insides painted and the metallic areas painted. Now I can start assembling things.

Well now she actually looks like jet now! Took some real work to get the front and rear fuselage sections together.

Nooo, I don't want to hear it's a bucket of snakes! Looks OK from here.

Thanks guys! I test fitted the wings in the folded position, installed the intakes and the slats.

That just doesn’t sound very Tamiya-like.... but you look to have this well in hand.

Love those folded wings!

Thanks Stik! I had to use some super glue at two spots on the join between the front and rear fuselage. The fit wasn't great and that was the best way to get it to sit flush while I glued the rest of the seams.

Now it looks like a skyray!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
