Looking forward to seeing more Stuart!
Thanks Mark - I think this is an update of their older kit with additional stores.

I've progressed a bit over the weekend. I painted up the cockpit and pilot and got the fuselage halves together. The fit is pretty much spot on.

Thanks Lyle! The pilot is really basically paintec but looks okay in 1/72.

I've made some more progress on the assembly - it doesn't look like it but I've added quite a few parts. The result of Tamiya leaving the door open for future alternative variations.

Surprisingly, the wings didn't fit that well and will need a dab of putty.

Intake to do next...

Thanks Carlos, progress is a bit slow as it's pretty busy at home but I'm getting there.

Looks like it's going to be fun
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Making some progress - looks like a Falcon/Viper now...

Just got a little bit of seam clean up to do, and then I'm onto assembling the undercarriage on this and the Airfix kit.

Cheers!
