Welcome to the build!
T-bolt has done an excellent job getting shots of the piddlin' little details that keep some of us up at night!
 
@T Bolt, Those pics are really nice, I think I might use the majority of them as a refrence, especially the Cockpit!

@Parsifal, I dont have a particular squadron in mind at the moment, but I would actually like to know the squadron of the kits decals as I havent been able to find it yet (If somebody would be kind enough to take a look), I know EL stands for Ellsworth but Im not to sure.
The Decals arn't to brilliant, so I might think about investing in some others, - hopefully if I do, for the same paint scheme! (a point in the right direction for that would be handy :D )

Thanks Parsifal!, I kinda narrowed it down, but I think because the kit has a 1977 stamp on the plastic that the squadron may have changed?
TankKiller.com - 23 Tactical Fighter Wing / Wing - 23 Tactical Fighter Wing
TankKiller.com - 74 FS -74 Tactical Fighter Squadron

Becuase of the flying tiger emblem which is also on the decal sheet, it could be these two, but I still really need an expert!
 
Welcome aboard Tama and what a great GB start, this is also one of my top five favourites and I have a Trumpeter 1/32 sitting on the display shelf to prove it.
 
A slow start so far! But here is the completed cockpit (not stuck into the fuselage just yet :p )
The yellow handles (on either side of the ejector seat), are made from copper wire, but I think there too thick, just didn't have a thinner size.

Nice start Tama and when you have all this locked into the body, what you can see of the handles will look okay.
