OK people, figured it was about time for me to get some progress pics onto this thread. This is where the 162 stands so far. The 'pit is finished, as is the engine, and it's nearly all buttoned up and ready for some paint. The gunsight needs to go on, then I'll mask and attach the canopy pieces before paint begins. The white cylinders behind the 'pit are styrene tubing, capped off and glued in place after being filled with tungsten powder for nose weight. This stuff is great for ballast - it weighs 1.5 times as much as lead per unit volume, so a little goes a long way.
