Not a lot of parts in this kit but a lot of plastic!
As usual the Tamiya quality is great to work with. No flashing, everything fits. All the parts have been cut off the sprues, just need painting putting together. It's a relatively simple kit but will look great with the right amount of detailing.
Fuselage prepped and ready to go;

I wish more kits joined top to bottom instead of left to right. The F-16 kits do it, right?! It wouldn't be hard to do with a lot of planes, just hide the join along panel lines. It would eliminate the need for seems down the middle of the fuselage.
various gray primed parts...first the wheel/bomb bays and cockpit;

That's all for now.
