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.





Cheers!

Looking quit loverly. Kwhen I try figure, they look like they just crawled out of an oil spill.

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...

Cheers!

What?! A new Tamiya kit needing putty?!




Nice work so far!

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

Thanks Bruce!

Looks like it's going to be fun

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!

Nice! Looks great. You are becoming the Viper-Nator ...
