Is it just me or does the cockpit in the second photo look remarkably like that of a Bf 109? 😳

Guy Rump Автор
You are right Kenneth! I took it from the wrong file. Thanks for pointing it out. 👍

Cockpit inserted and fuselage now together. 🙂

Wings and tail plane fitted to fuselage. The fit of the wings on to the fuselage is very poor... 🙂

Pre-shading done, ready for painting. I will be trying out AK Extreme metal paint for this project. 🙂

Airbrushed most of the aircraft Vallejo Model Air black as an undercoat and then airbrushed the aircraft in areas to be Aluminium with AK Xtreme metal paint. Quite pleased with the results. 🙂

Somehow I have overlooked this another "Jug" (how do you discern the specific parts from specific kits? 😉 ) - great job so far, Guy!

I always like to see livery where there is bright colours contrasting with NMF!
I will be interesting to see how the checker pattern turns out.

J35J
Joining late, great progress!👍🏻

Underside armaments now attached, rockets, bombs and fuel. The rockets first of all had a tiny pair of pegs that had attached to the wing for each rocket and then attached to the pegs. 🙂
