A lot of this will be bread & butter to many of you guys but for someone at my level it's been very fiddly so far, so I'm going to make a big deal out of it
Cockpit went together well but the individual control levers were a wrestle. I also lost one part after it went supersonic from my tweezers, so scratched something similar. Some form of canister with a hose coming out of it.

Then I folded up a couple of small boxes for the IP and side wall, to have painted etch pieces added later.
Not great but the best I could manage.

The ammo drums needed some etch adding too. Some are a bit wonky but I amazed myself by actually managing to fit them all!
The kit does provide plastic parts &
decals as an alternative to most of them, so that's a fallback plan.
