1/48 Airfix Gloster Javelin FAW 9/9R

[F-104nut]

Gunsight finally installed and last of the cockpit area done Window frame arepainted with my own tamiya cockpit black mix .. Windshield glued on and masking next . Other ejection seat mating of the resin seat with the kit frame done. Triming and fitting was not near as perfect as the first one. But by the time the seat is painted and installed it really wont be noitcable .

Spent the last couple of days trying to figure the best way to mask the canopy off. Some airplanes can be a pain mask the cockpit off but after 4 attemps i was alble to get it how i likeed it. Started spraying the bottom with mr surfacer primer 1500. Found a couple of areas th at need some sanding then i, respray the bottom .
