Aswell as running a 40 mile round trip I managed to get this done:

Nosecone is ready to be glued on, the exhaust nozzles and Gun Pods have been trimmed and sanded.
I am determined to get this done but it isn't looking promising.

Thanks mate.
with 3 minutes to go I came to the realization that there is no way I could possibly get this bird done in time!
Here she is so far:

At the end of the road I managed to get the Engine fan painted, Cockpit or ejector seat painted and belts put on, weight in, fuselage closed up and gun pods built and glued on.
I am going to continue this build over on my workbench and it will be finished very soon.
Thanks again for watching folks!
