Bocks, HOLLY #^%* BATMAN, does the problem extend that far back on the nose section or just the radome?  Now you have me wondering.  I'll have to go check my Revell kit to see if if the nose section is off. 

If it is just the radome than plastic stock should work on getting the correct shape.  You have more dedication than I have.  I would have given up a long time ago. 

I haven't done much work on my build the last couple of days.  Yard work has a higher priority right now or I will have a jungle to clear if I don't keep up with it.

I did find out the AM ejection seats will not fit the AM cockpit from Black Box (AKA Combat Series).  They are too wide and I would have to sand down the sides to get them to fit.  That would destroy a lot of detail if I did that.  I don't like the set that came with the cockpit set because it has the seat belts and shoulder harness molded in to the seats and they are all wrong.  I would destroy too much of the detail if I shaved them off and went with AM belts.  I am going to use the kit supplied seats and detail them.  At least they will fit the resin tub.
