Yep, got to thank Commander Bondski for the great help and pics etc!
Anyway, the cockpit has now been re-painted in the grey-blue colour, although it looks more blue in the pics. The shock cone, wheel well and cockpit tub have been fitted, and the nose sections joined. The instructions called for 15 gr of weight up front but, using the method employed when using PE4 (plastic explosive), I adopted the 'P' Formula, where P = Plenty, and bunged in about 40gr of lead, plus Blu-Tac to hold it all in place and shield any light from the cockpit to the nose intake!
The kit ejector seat is reasonable, but basic, so only the sides and top will be used, with some added scratch-built detail, and this will be added, along with the remaining detail over the instrument panel, once the model has been painted.
