Will add to the MB Groupbuild.
Closed the gearbay and added some detail.
Made an engine air intake deflector in the wingroot, otherwise it would have been an open space into the wing
Separated the flaps to pose down. I like the look of the flaps down.
Scratchbuilt a simple cockpit. The kit only had a bulkhead with molded on seats so anything was better. Salvaged the ejection seats, cut the away from the bulkhead.
Going to try to finish this by Telford, so will use these seats for now, and see if I can pick any up while I am there.

Added some simple detail in the nose gear bay.
Wings on, just a little putty needed on the join.

Primered, found a few spots that needed touching up, and primered again. Ready for FS34079.
Decided to try to show off the cockpit. After carefully taping, and cutting. Voila! Open canopy!

I wish someone made a canopy mask for the T.7….
Using Model Master FS34079 thinned 50:50 with Testors Airbrush Thinner. Got the green a little darker than I wanted, but still happy with the result. Need to do another coat on the bottom.
