How did you deal with the different scale cockpit.I have heard it is on the small side.

The ejection seat is the major problem. It is way too small, just like the pilots from Airfix Canberra kits. The canopy can't fit in the open position either because I think it's a little small. So you end up not seeing much when assembled. Also getting enough weight into the nose is a challenge. Some minor stencil decals are missing. Other than that an enjoyable kit.

Got the Airfix F6 for crimbo.It looks like a well thought out kit.It is eventually going to be a GA11.

Some of the photos are very dark, but it looks like you've done a lovely job on a awkward kit.
When I did it in a different scheme, some of the decals were miss-numbered and some just didn't fit.

Another problem is the wing to fuselage joint. Lots of spaces to fill.
