Glued main wheel wells.
Then air intakes and some engine compartment walls.
Working on engines and thrust reverser parts as those are installed as whole set

Cockpit was glued in place - not without problems - rear wall had wrong angle.
Engines painted and positioned in rear fuselage.
Wings can have multiple option like open slots, flaps etc. And a very nice feature is rotating pylon mount points.

Looking good! Are the issues with the kit mostly about the fit? How is the detail in general?

Added top fuselage part in the rear section, this goes with wings. They are movable from straight to folded but not maximum folded.
Stephen G - fuselage is being build from many parts, they fit quite well, but small misaligment with one will cost you a lot of fitting and putty later.
Thanks Spanjaard

Thank you Daniel
I finally managed to close cockpit and attach front part, so now plane looks like should be.
Also finished armament and started preshading on plane

The hanging stuff is looking just epic, masterclass in paint application 👍 what did you use on the canopy in 33?

Daniel, it was masking fluid but for artists not modelers. It is milky white wet but very transparent once dry.
I finished painting. It took couple of hours for preshading and s lot of time and paint layers to get to current stage

Thank you - I have to think about some base for it. Usually at this stage base was already finished or almost finished. Now I do not even have a clue what to do 🙁

Finished - I did a base (if you want some detailed info - let me know).
Plane get some smoke and dirt and that's it.

Thanks Konrad - yes, I highly recommend this kit. I's one of the best I've been working on.
It's quite expensive - I got mine with a discount but still it was 105-110$ but man, it's totally worth it.
