begins to take shape 🙂

needed 3 steps to fill and set bad upper left wing-to-fuselage joint
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/8/0/7/60807-12080-33-720.jpg)
added some wiring in wheel bays
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/0/8/60808-12080-32-720.jpg)
I have managed to drop the plane and break paper-thin nose. This was corrected with piece of styrene sheet, filled with super-glue

Paint session lasted for few days - darker panels were masked with low-tack Tamiya tape

![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/4/4/3/62443-12080-86-720.jpg)
... but look nice 🙂
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/6/1/9/62619-12080-64-720.jpg)
I didn't like look of joint between windshield and fuselage...
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/6/2/0/62620-12080-11-720.jpg)
so I made another "panel" out of thin aluminium sheet
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/6/2/1/62621-12080-44-720.jpg)
Interior is finished, finally...

Guido, you should think of including Eduard's set and vacformed canopy - it really improves the model 🙂 BTW, this is the same Esci/Italeri tool, only in Revell's box.

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate that 🙂
Guido, I don't know about Aires, but it looks much better, especially in the rear part of the cockpit. I'm quite satisfied with this solution, but it requires some additional scratchbuilding :-/

Thanks, Seb and Guido 🙂
Guido, Eduard gives small etched rectangle (4x2mm) that attaches to the inside of canopy's top rear part and goes into slot in fuselage. You'll also notice few cubes - I used one as a support for the canopy frame until the superglue dries.

Very nice result, Zoran! 👍 I especially like the cockpit and the metal effect of the plane.

Very colourful markings, it looks great! Even after all these years, the old Esci kit is still the best F-100 out there.
