Started cutting plastic on this - I've done a bit of assembly of the cockpit - time to start painting!

I've pretty much finished the cockpit - what there is of it. I was going to add some SB bits but as the clears parts are so thick - even after a coat of future - I just painted it up OOB. I tried to give the pilot a SF 'Tiger striped' camo jacket - it actually looks a lot better in the flesh than it does in the photo.
It's not much, but I had a lot of fun doing it - I'm really glad I'm finally building this kit, it's one off the bucket list!
Cheers!

Thanks Gents!
The blooming IP decal keeps falling off - I've now welded it in place with Tamiya decal adhesive, so hopefully I can finally get the fuselage buttoned up.

I just built an old Heller kit that had same issue. Must've something with the adhesive on those decals

I think so - the decals must have been made in at least the 1970's!

Made a bit more progress on this one over the last few days....
Next I'll get the last of the clear parts and structs/legs on.
Cheers!
