Thanks Toshi!

Wings on

Front portion of the intakes on

Hoping I can get to putting on the rest of the bits needed, and get it ready for paint tomorrow.

Wow Keyda, you're knocking them out left and right! I wish I had your enthusiasm. One,  maybe two a year is good for me. I think I have too many hobbies!

Keep up the good work,

Max

 

I'll sit up at the bench for hours if I can, lol.  It's been raining cats and dogs the past few days, and it's not quite warm enough to do anything outside, so what better way to spend my time!  I've been trying to sneak away and work on this one as much as possible.  Kiddo goes on Spring Break for 2 weeks, and I plan on starting Spring cleaning.  I won't be getting in a whole lot of bench time in.

This plane is going together so quickly, and easily.  I haven't had any fit issues what so ever.  I'm loving how nicely it's going together.

Intakes in.

Halves together.

I made a mess with the white paint.Embarrassed

Nose section on

I must of forgotten to take pics with the wings on, I'll do that after dinner.

Not a whole ton of progress to report.  I painted some parts white, and got the nose together.  Daily life kept me from the bench most of the day.Wink

There's 2 options in the kit, going with option 1 335th TFS, 4th Fighter wing.

It's actually a really nice kit. There are a couple of areas to keep an eye on, when you mate the nose section to the fuselage, make sure you double check the fit. I recently built two of these at the same time. One kit, they mated perfectly, the other had a gap and a step that had to be filled and sanded. Not a major problem, but one to keep an eye out for.

This is looking great so far, nice work on the office!!
