Progress so far

Adam Farnsworth
Nice going there. Fit looks good on this kit.

Greg Jones
Only just seen your comment. Thanks! The fit isn't bad but it took plenty of sanding and scribing to get it right. Learnt some lessons for the next one.

Greg Jones
The finish line is near! Pylons and Ordinance have been attached. Matt cote also applied as well as most of the weathering. Just got to attached the horizontal stabilisers and do the formation lights.

Michael Phillips
Fantastic work Greg! The weathering is spot on. Very well done. Eager to see this one wrap up!

Greg Jones
Thanks Michael! Attaching all the little bits really makes it come to life!

Dale Marston
Looking really good.

Greg Jones
Thought I'd post one last shot whilst I wait for the display base to arrive!

Greg Jones
Finally got round to doing the base so I can now call the model complete! When the rain goes away I will take some better pictures in the sunlight.

Adam Farnsworth
Great!

Tim Heimer
Nice addition to your collection!

Bryn Crandell
Looks amazing! How did you do the textured effect on the bombs?

Greg Jones
Thanks everyone!

@Bryn: Many thanks! The textured effect on the bombs was done by brushing a thin layer of Mr surfacer 500 then dabbing it with a stiff brush straight after. I hope this makes sense. If not please let me know and I will post some pictures to show you.

Jeff Owens
Looking real nice. I have this build as my next project. Any tips on the build process, seamless intakes go in good etc ? Looking forward to seeing the final build pics

Greg Jones
Thanks Jeff and Gastón!

@Jeff: it is a nice kit but do plenty of dry fitting when putting the fuselage together! When putting the top and bottom halfs together I put some plasticard around the joins so it was a more flush fit (if that makes sense). I also glued the wings to the top half of the fuselage before joining the 2 halfs. Seamless intakes are great with minimal work and good for masking off to paint the grey part of the intake. Just pop me a message if you have any questions or difficulty during the build.

Bryn Crandell
@Greg that makes total sense. Thank you.
