I modified the gun pods by drilling holes and adding a cylinder for the barrel opening, and also a small rod as barrel inside. I also glued the exhaust vents and added some putty to the seams.

The front landing gear well is just an opening right into the rest of the plane, and does need some form of attention.

While pondering that, many of the small parts ended up in a paint “forrest”.

And the glass parts got a dip in Pledge/Future floor polish. The cast/copy is so bad that there’s no detail on the glass surfaces.

More putty and sanding! 🙂

Masked the canopy and front glass, making up for the missing frame.

I made a HUD display and put the pilot in place.

More in next part.
