The cockpit is looking really sharp! Especially that IP!

That is a really nice bit of work - that's looking excellent. It's amazing what a nice paint job can do.

Thanks Gents. I appreciate the encouraging words. I'm working on the wing/fuselage fit now. Seems the armor plate on the lower wing does not match up with its counterpart on the fuselage. Probably gonna be more Apoxie Sculpt to the rescue...

Random notes on this build.
1) Command decision: Decided to Finish Fuselage and wings and subassemblies. Fit is good enough and any paint touch up will be easy. A few good coats of Tamiya primer of the Fuse will hopefully resolve any paint adhesion/cracking issues...
2) I love rattle cans... at least Tamiya... Primed the Fuse and painted the center tank with rattle cans HASHTAG=EASY No, you can't use them for everything but they sure make some thing easy...

Great progress. I agree re: Tamiya rattle cans. I've pulled of some nice auto finishes right out of the can. And for gloss black undercoat for NMF I like their gloss black.
Thanks,

Thanks keavdog. Tamiya Gloss aluminum is also a good base for alclad -- can be a bit tricky to tell when you have it covered with enough coats of alclad though...
