Agreed. I have this same kit, that I built about 30 years ago, and for some reason I can picture the plastic part in my mind even though the model is buried deep in a cupboard in my hobby room. It has nothing on that resin part you added.
The funny thing is that some parts of this kit ( wheels , undercarriage ) are fantastically done but the exhaust is terrible
Got the airbrakes fitted now and painted and fitted the demister rails in the canopy . Ive also fixed the two rear view mirrors to the front part . There were a couple of other parts that needed adding to the cockpit , namely the canopy release lever ( supplied on the etched fret ) and what i assume are a pair of canopy ejection rams which sit just at the front edge in front of the instrument panel. I made these from the spares box and painted them silver and red. The canopy has now been fitted and thats it , im calling it done. Heres a few pics to round off the build thread and ill put a full completed set of pics up tomorrow . Thanks for watching , next up in the series - the f105 D Thunderchief .
