Aggressor Hornet! Before starting the whole thing I did a color trial on my newly recruited paint mule as I have to mix the greens myself. Think I got pretty close and all after 2 mixes on the dark and 4 on the light green. Some luck involved

Now some old school cockpit painting
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/9/6/3/1657963-48987-71-720.jpg)
Cockpit is good but seats are very boring...I tried some colors, didn't like it ...

...applied sheep skin with dabbed liquid putty, looks a bit more organic. (Left one WIP) Still need seatbelts

![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/4/1/2/1665412-48987-47-720.jpg)

![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/4/1/3/1665413-48987-51-720.jpg)
dropped it off the table...ffffff..
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/4/1/6/1665416-48987-56-720.jpg)
Fit is generally very good for such an old kit, only some liquid putty used to hide the join lines
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/4/1/4/1665414-48987-40-720.jpg)
nose fit is good as well, also added some weight though its not in the instruction, better safe than sorry
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/4/1/5/1665415-48987-82-720.jpg)
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/7/6/1697776-48987-27-720.jpg)
Have to make this joint disappear
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/7/7/9/1697779-48987-71-720.jpg)
using a generous layer of soft putty
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/7/7/7/1697777-48987-10-720.jpg)
waiting for putty to dry: one thing I always do is saw some gaps between the moving parts, little things add to realism
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/7/7/8/1697778-48987-70-720.jpg)
Also restored the damaged inlet with some sheet
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/1/1/1/1699111-48987-98-720.jpg)
after the sanding, looks weird&cratered
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/1/1/2/1699112-48987-76-720.jpg)
...but is actually flat
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/1/3/1699113-48987-61-720.jpg)
