A little progress on this today. I added the ejection seat and HUD into the cockpit.

After that I started masking the canopy and glued that in place. Once I finish that I can start priming.

I think it is the clear paint for the canopy.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looking good Stik, but so "chunky" the front fuselage is!

I think that Revell might have the appearance off a bit. But the 35 is broad in the shoulders...

Well for many years there's been a BUFF, and now we have a FLUF to join it.

Yeah, the SLUF is long gone... although the 35 is replacing its replacements... :hmm:

Today’s progress report...
I modified the nose to accept a flight test instrumentation boom that I took from another kit in my stash that won’t be needing the boom.

Image

Then I modified the boom to better match the configuration used by the X-35

Image

And lastly I primered the bird all up

Image

Due up next, the basic paint, Gunship Gray 36118 over Neutral Gray 36270
