Looks fine to me. Some washes, pigments, and scratches will do the job.

These jet cockpits look quite clean, so it will be scratches only. ;)

Cockpit installation is complete. Time to start first works on the body. So far there are no issues.

Im no pro-builder at all. But Hasegawa/Dragon left out one detail thats clearly visible: two struts in the front canopy. I really dont care if theres something missing in lets say the wheel bay - but these are sort of important, it seems.

;)

Small pieces of round plastic profile did the job - until I almost ruined the canopy because some of the glue went at a space where it wasnt supposed to be. Sanding was neccessary, in combination of careful use of clear paint.

Close call.

Finally, these parts and the inner side of the canopy was painted green, masking and addition of three mirrors (from the spare parts box) and the HUD will follow.

Thank you Doogie.

Small parts that look a bit better - i added an additional instrument and three mirrors located at the rear window.

This took only 10 minutes - the mirrors are made from flat rectangular profiles, the additional instrument is a cut round profile, a little bit of color added - nothing too serious, honestly.
