Got a bit more done on the 'Thunderstreak', although my hands are still somewhat stiff, causing less than perfect results.
A gun sight reflector screen was made and fitted, replacing the kit part which, apart from being rather thick, was cracked and opaque anyway. The gun sight projector lens was first drilled out, then painted with a mix of silver and yellow, before being filled with PVA to create the lens element, then a piece of shaped clear sheet fixed in place for the screen.
The compass has been fitted to the windscreen frame and the windscreen fitted and blended in to the fuselage. The 'blending' could be much better, and in retrospect I think I should have fitted and blended this part, and the rear glazing, before painting the model - oh well!
The ejection seat has had the moulded harness removed and replaced with shaped and painted foil, and the armoured head shield added from shaped plastic card, and the internal frames and lifting arms fitted to the canopy, and the interior and exterior frames and sealing strip painted. I spent over an hour trying to remove what I thought was a paint mark, or possibly marker pen, from the starboard side of the canopy, before finally realising this is actually a flaw, being a discoloured, wavy line actually in the clear plastic!
Final shot shows progress to date, with all decals and painting done, although some re-touching will be required after fitting the landing gear and drop tanks etc, which is the next stage.
