The cockpit is now complete and ready to go into the fuselage. The wings and the middle underside have been prepared using AMT-1 Light Grey Brown. The blue used is AMT-7 blue (both Vallejo Model Air) 🙂

Fuselage and wings are now all together. A bit of filler was required but nothing major. The fit was ok. 🙂

Very nice work Guy. I don't know why, I always thought this kit was a reboxed Italeri tool, but checking, I now see I was wrong. So I assume the usual Tamiya crispness and precision fit?

@Neil, in the main, all the parts fit together quite well. There was little or no flash.
The undercarriage and armaments have now been added. 🙂
