Thanks mates; @Paulo, the F-16 is waiting for a resin exhaust and seat and masks that I ordered last week...

Thanks Roland; moving forward fast, despite the fact that this is a huge kit on the bench

Closing the front now - Eduard PE does not help fit, but it isn't that bad so far

Thank you Jos - this will take some time, the fit isn't stellar, but it'll get there! 🙂

Coming on board! I want to build this very same model in the next 5 years 🙂 so watching closely! The Eduard stuff seem to provide a lot of good, obviously cockpit, but also the gearwell material appears rather useful. Only thing I pity is the Ra'am engines have external petals on... I'd really like to build the "naked" nozzles...
Great job so far, beautiful pit, bird seems to be coming together nicely, looking forward to the camo! 👍

Thank you Slavo - still smoothing out some nasty gaps in the tips of the tails and near the machine gun; other than than, I'll start painting soon; will probably replace the nozzles with resin, because these lack some detail and finesse on the inside

Very nice progress, looking forward to the cool IAF camo 👍
Afaik certain panel joints are raised on the real tanks - so it's a feature, not a bug 🙂

Thank you Daniel. Regarding the raised panel lines on the fuel tanks, it does pose a problem when sanding the joints (and they'll have to be sanded because of the peculiar way the sprue gates are made in this model)

Thanks Clifford, inching my way forward, while progressing the Revell Shackleton at the same time... 🙂

Finally finished - had to rush the end, because I needed it ready for a local exibition; final photos in the same project, here: F-15I Ra'am | Album by RReis (1:48)
