There were ejector pin marks on the inside of the intakes. These were sanded smooth prior to assembly.

Intake lips were also thinned prior to assembly. There being no front end engine detail and intake trunking this work may all have been in vain as I might make some intake blanks like those on my Tornado

Cockpit fitted

View of cockpit from the other side

Drop tanks assembled and cleaned up

Another view of drop tanks

Pylons for the drop tanks with wire pins fitted to help secure the drop tanks

Main wheels assembled. Unusual for them to be in two halves these days!

Main undercarriage bay.

Main undercarriage bay primed in black and then a light grey misted on to create some shading

Details in main undercarriage bay painted

Main undercarriage bay fully painted and with a wash added in the recesses.

The nosewheel bay needed some filler and sanding to make a smooth joint. Time spent on this area will be well spent. Thanks Ricardo for the heads up!

Nosewheel bay received the same treatment as the main bay.

Another view of the nose bay. You can just see the buddy refuelling pod in the background.

Nosewheel bay details painted. Not necessarily accurate but it adds some interest.

Main undercarriage bay fitted along with the undercarriage legs. A good strong method of securing the legs. However, strange in that they can't be fitted prior to or after fitting the bay. They have to be inserted through the fuselage into the bay.
