So I added weight to the nose with Liquid Gravity. Then I filled the wing root gaps with Milliput. Some of those gaps won't be seen when I add the flare/chaff dispensers.

Looking better and better. How much nose weight does it need?

Thanks guys! I wasn't sure how much weight was needed but I didn't want a tail sitter.

Got the flare/chaff dispensers added on. Gonna have to blend them in some at the back.

Looking good Mike, you're really making a nice job of this.

I do need to get my Ukrainian Mig-29 build off the ground too :hmm: I was surprised at the size of the Fulcrum, I always thought it was an Eagle sized aircraft but having got it out of the box I see it is much smaller.

Thanks! Yeah I was surprised at the size too. It's about the size of a Viper.

I know that the Fulcrum is more comparable to the F-18 in many ways. Perhaps it’s closer to the Hornet’s original design of the F-17 Cobra.

And she is coming along beautifully Mike! :shoutout:
