Kit seat assembled
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/3/6/8/354368-13441-68-720.jpg)
Engine exhausts assembled

Engine exhausts assembled
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/6/6/354366-13441-26-720.jpg)
Cockpit and seat painted, drybrushed and detail painted
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/6/5/354365-13441-54-720.jpg)
Seat with etch seatbelts and ejection handle added

Strange protrusions on upper surface

Strange protrusions on upper surface
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/4/5/4/357454-13441-86-720.jpg)
There were ejector pin marks on the inside of the intakes. These were sanded smooth prior to assembly.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/5/3/357453-13441-57-720.jpg)
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
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/5/8/361558-13441-36-720.jpg)
Cockpit fitted
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/6/0/361560-13441-76-720.jpg)
View of cockpit from the other side
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/5/6/6/361566-13441-89-720.jpg)
Drop tanks assembled and cleaned up
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/5/6/7/361567-13441-87-720.jpg)
Another view of drop tanks
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/5/6/5/361565-13441-73-720.jpg)
Pylons for the drop tanks with wire pins fitted to help secure the drop tanks
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/5/6/8/361568-13441-68-720.jpg)
Main wheels assembled. Unusual for them to be in two halves these days!
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/5/7/361557-13441-22-720.jpg)
Main undercarriage bay.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/5/5/9/361559-13441-67-720.jpg)
Main undercarriage bay primed in black and then a light grey misted on to create some shading
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/5/6/9/361569-13441-96-720.jpg)
Details in main undercarriage bay painted
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/3/4/9/365349-13441-90-720.jpg)
Main undercarriage bay fully painted and with a wash added in the recesses.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/5/6/2/361562-13441-93-720.jpg)
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!
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/5/7/0/361570-13441-71-720.jpg)
Nosewheel bay received the same treatment as the main bay.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/5/6/3/361563-13441-14-720.jpg)
Another view of the nose bay. You can just see the buddy refuelling pod in the background.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/5/6/4/361564-13441-59-720.jpg)
Nosewheel bay details painted. Not necessarily accurate but it adds some interest.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/3/4/7/365347-13441-58-720.jpg)
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.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/3/4/8/365348-13441-93-720.jpg)
Once inserted through the fuselage they can be glued into the bay and then the bay glued to the fuselage. Unusual but makes for a strong fixing.
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/5/4/8/369548-13441-29-720.jpg)
Fuselage halves glued together and joint cleaned up. Only a small amount of filler needed.
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/5/4/9/369549-13441-89-720.jpg)
Arrestor hook glued on.
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/5/4/6/369546-13441-94-720.jpg)
Radome added and cleaned up. Small amount of filler needed.
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/9/2/9/373929-13441-22-720.jpg)
Intake covered in foil to make intake blanks.
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/9/2/8/373928-13441-86-720.jpg)
Foil covered in tissue and diluted PVA glue.
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/9/2/7/373927-13441-91-720.jpg)
Excess foil trimmed off.
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/9/2/5/373925-13441-51-720.jpg)
Shape of intake blank marked out.
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/9/2/6/373926-13441-41-720.jpg)
Intake blank trimmed to final size and test fitted.
![Album image #43 Album image #43](/albums/img/9/3/6/373936-13441-13-720.jpg)
Couple of coats of red and they look the part.
![Album image #44 Album image #44](/albums/img/9/3/1/373931-13441-33-720.jpg)
Test fitted to model.
![Album image #45 Album image #45](/albums/img/9/3/7/373937-13441-29-720.jpg)
Another view of blanks test fitted.
![Album image #46 Album image #46](/albums/img/9/3/2/373932-13441-68-720.jpg)
And one more for good measure.
![Album image #47 Album image #47](/albums/img/9/3/0/373930-13441-91-720.jpg)
View of intakes fitted which required a fair amount of filler.

Hi Oleg. I used the AK Paneliner set for grey and blue camouflage. Worked really well.
