![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/1/5/5/167155-16302-78-720.jpg)
Just to get started.... more to come
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/7/4/0/174740-16302-22-720.jpg)
Going to detail up the seat a bit: masking tape seatbelts to sit in the lower part, with a bit of wire
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/7/4/1/174741-16302-49-720.jpg)
The tube assembled, turned out it looks good out of the box, quite convincing for the scale
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/7/4/2/174742-16302-28-720.jpg)
The seats had the uper seatbelts molded on, but I had to scratch build the lower ones
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/4/3/174743-16302-48-720.jpg)
I think it is good enough to display the canopy opened
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/7/4/4/174744-16302-50-720.jpg)
The fan intake, trying out AK interactive True Metal, dark aluminium, just brush onto it and buff! good stuff!
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/7/4/5/174745-16302-49-720.jpg)
Some wash with vallejo game, simple and efective, but not washable so be carefull!
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/4/6/174746-16302-36-720.jpg)
Intakes are done
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/7/4/7/174747-16302-12-720.jpg)
Hope that it adds to the finish of the overall plane
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/7/4/8/174748-16302-55-720.jpg)
I fell that I have to busy up a bit the wheel well
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/7/4/9/174749-16302-87-720.jpg)
One side done
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/7/5/0/174750-16302-76-720.jpg)
Both sides done
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/7/5/1/174751-16302-99-720.jpg)
Time consuming job, I hope that it pays off in the end
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/5/2/174752-16302-76-720.jpg)
Extensive use of the plastic filler: pieces of sprue melted in Extra Thin cement with a few drops of red paint on it to keep a track about what I am doing
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/5/3/174753-16302-79-720.jpg)
Here the result in one side: finaly the shape is correct and one more side to go...
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/7/5/4/174754-16302-83-720.jpg)
Dry fit reveals another massive gap to deal with, the assembly has being a nightmare, I can´t wait to complete it and move into the painting.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/7/5/5/174755-16302-98-720.jpg)
Unfortunatly, the thickness and magnification efect don´t alow much of the work in the interior to be appreciated, I´m thinking in find a way to display it opened, as there is no option for that in the instructions...
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/7/5/6/174756-16302-99-720.jpg)
Front view of the assembly, I painted the armored glass in gunze clear green and than gave it a bath in Future
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/7/5/7/174757-16302-46-720.jpg)
Intakes so far,still sanding and reescribing to do
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/7/5/8/174758-16302-72-720.jpg)
Quick dry fit to see how it will look, that´s the point I am so far...

My first modern jet since I was teenager at more than 20 years ago, the plan is to do it almost out of the box, adding just the little pitot tube from Master Models, also paint using vallejo primer/acrylics and use vallejo washes, let´s see how it turns out
