That looks okay, although it is missing certain vital modifications, necessary for the addition of the refuelling probe.

A nice example of how a well constructed Airfix model should look. Excellent :grin:

Great looking model. Awesome work on the interior. I hope my Nimrod looks that good when it is built.

All the best.
