Coming along Allan! I've debated getting one of these kits, just because of the size. I may live vicariously through your build here still...!
Allan J Withers said 5 years, 11 months ago:

Thanks Greg, large models can be a problem !
Allan J Withers said 5 years, 11 months ago:

A coat of Vallejo matt varnish on the panels then a drop of Future on some of the dials and a coat of MM aluminum metalizer on the bomb bay and wheels !

The IP and interior in general has worked out really well Allan. I haven't used decals for IPs before but seeing this - and some other recent builds - I think they can be really effective.
Allan J Withers said 5 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks Paul, if it comes with decals I usually use them, fuselage together now with other option canopy on loose to protect the interior !

Wings going together with some metalizer on the fans along side, the canopies have a thick edge around the bottom so I've scraped it away and polished it out, the difference can just be seen comparing the two ! and the part of the fuselage you won't see once the wing goes on !

Some plastic tube going inside those wing root intakes with a length of wire to locate !

The attention to detail is great Allan. Seemingly small things make a huge difference. As ever really enjoying watching your way of working!

Thank you Paul, and a bit more work to these panel lines !
