Thanks! I was getting a bit discouraged with the cockpit fowling things up. Just test fitted the upper and lower fuselage and the intakes and it's all a great fit!!

Nothing but respect for those that tackle the F-4. I have one and I'm not looking forward to building it. Jets, such as this, always give me the heebie-jeebies due to all the nooks and crannies they have. This is really nice.

You can do it. You're already tackling the A-10. It just takes careful planing on what and when to paint things.
