Great choice! It's a fantastic kit and how can not build the Mig killer! Nice bunch of AM.
Thanks,
John

Please excuse the delay. Pandemic and a broken compressor just finish me off.

Here the first part from the cockpit. Some PE from Eduard and paint here and there and a dash of oil paint.

Cockpit looks great! I just picked this kit up I might build it for this GB too after the phantom.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That's a great start on the CP. A nice mix of styrene and PE.

The cockpit looks very sharp Norman! Used, but not abused. This should be good to see what you do with the rest of this project, if the cockpit is any preview of your intentions.

Hello,

I'll get in touch briefly, unfortunately only a little done. Since Easter I have had a viral infection in my right eye and have been taking antibotics for five weeks, it's slowly getting better. But there is still a long way to go.

Here are a few pictures, I hope there will be more over time. I don't feel so comfortable at the hobby area, everything is overloaded with things. So I first got myself a new office chair and hope it will be a bit more productive again.

The seat belts are finished and glued. A slight weathering of the seat belts not so much to overload the whole thing
