      Some more painting this AM. I'm starting with cockpit-all separate controls, surfaces ect and MM Acryl RLM 66 is the color. And yes, a pilot does go in the tub and over that horrific ejector mark. Guess who swore up and down to never paint a figure before the age of 60.

      Looks one hell of a kit Jeff. As this is for the Group Build, I will move it into the GB 'Under Construction' section.

      Hi Jeff, progress looks great - hard to believe it's in 1/48 it looks that good!
      It's going to be great seeing this come together.

      Hello all:
      I've just completed the cockpit and these are various pictures of the included pilot and rough test fitting. After dry-brushing Citatdel chainmail acrylics I ended up spraying a coat of Klear\Future before applying raw umber oil paint wash followed up with MM flat lacquer. Now, the question remains if I'm using the gorgeous IP or use the decal. I'm going to pose this flying so most details will be obscured. Take care and have a great weekend! Jeff
