Looks better, but definitely not very much like the real deal, but they'll do for me. Only thing i should have done something about is the intakes are very shallow. But got them blended in tonight and the strakes and various scoops on.

Hollowed the scoops out and really should have replaces the strakes, they a bit thick, but too lazy now...
Cheers

So a bit of paint around the IP coming, and the intakes blacked, then canopy on..
Image
The canopy parts fitted really well, just a small gap at the rear.

So mask the canopy and primer woo hoo

Cheers

Looks good - although the nose looks very pointy from that camera angle!

I had the same thought last night..my perception was that the -38 had a blunter nose more akin to an early Harrier before started putting bumps all over it...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

Hi folks, well I'm not going to get this done, too little hobby time lately, just waiting for time to paint really.

Hopefully get a bit of time over the next couple of weeks.

I've certainly enjoyed the kit, and I might be CCC tempted for some more of these cheap kits, good if you are worried about accuracy.

Cheers
Jim
