On both halves of the fuselage, there is a molded seam, most raised and sometimes sunk. I try sanding as best I can.

![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/1/5/6/744156-10252-63-720.jpg)
The cockpit was glued into one half of the fuselage. I used the front wheel well with about 5 mm plastic spacer to place the cockpit a little better, for the further gluing.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/1/5/7/744157-10252-40-720.jpg)
Afterwards it would have been better to glue the cockpit side parts to the fuselage halves without gluing the main cockpit part. A side wall had to be sanded lightly
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/1/5/8/744158-10252-79-720.jpg)
The splitter plates from the kit do not quite match the parts from Eduard, there is a gap. Due to the gap, the pins no longer fit to glue the air intake to the fuselage.

In addition, a lot of filling has to be done here, because you can see this area later.

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/6/1/744161-10252-90-720.jpg)
Here you can see quite well that you have to completely fill the cockpit with putty..

Filled the gap with putty

Best time to prepare the pylons
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/6/8/9/763689-10252-95-720.jpg)
The parts for the position lights were unfortunately not flush, here I had to fill with putty and try to create a transition
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/6/9/0/763690-10252-26-720.jpg)
Plastic card tool to align the parts for gluing and holding in place.

Ready to glue.

![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/6/9/3/763693-10252-46-720.jpg)
Lot of filler and sanding work will follow.

Count me in! Great subject choice here, and I see lots of aftermarket goodies too. Very nice start on the cockpit and wheel bays... This will be a fun follow!

Grabbing a seat, I made a Flogger 1/48 30 years ago... can't remember any of these details 😄

Please don't expect too much from me. There is still a long way to go.

Norman, we only expect that you record every step in photos, so that we can also learn from it. In exchange we will provide you with verbal motivation in tough times 👍 🙂

That Brassin stuff really up's the game, particularly the wells look top notch - nicely done, looking forward for more 👍
