Cool! I'm new to this, just joined yesterday, so it might take a little while to get this project process sorted. I've done most of the work on the cockpit now, and I'll try to upload some photos.

Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest. Ive just updated the album with photos of the canopy mechanism and details at the rear of the cockpit. That took some time, as it was the most complicated area of the whole model, and it was difficult to figure out how to simplify it enough to reproduce it in 1:72 and still make it look convincing. It's primed now and ready to paint, which will be the next step.

Cockpit painted now, and fuselage assembled. The next step is to rescribe the panel lines.

Fuselage panel lines now scribed, and wing shape corrected.
