hi started by spraying the cockpit parts with tamiya nato black ,the raised detail on the panel was faint so had to cut up some A4 decals to had some interest (not accurate) the intake splitter ! was painted aluminium and along with the cockpit insert glued them in place also the under nose insert was glued to one side of the fuselage then an attempt at gluing the fuselage half's together failed due to overspray ,meeting faces were cleaned up better and had another go at getting the fuselage buttoned up this time it worked and the seems lok ok apart from the under nose insert which will need filler the wing fuselage joints have a step in them but otherwise look good

hi wings have been attached to the fuselage had to file a bevel on the wing root to lessen the step that was there it will still need a bit of filler , the underside needed a fair amount of filler hopefully i won't lose to many panel lines once it's sanded back

Not bad for an older kit. Keep it up.
