It indeed is challenging to position this bird, in order to apply all that stencilling, a lot of which must be affixed in awkward locations, my friend @johnb!
Good thing is that the stencilling adds life to this big bird!

Great outcome, Spiros @fiveten.
Are you able to reduce the silvering by applying a matt / satin coat?

Slowly moving into final construction...

Nice steps, Spiros @fiveten
Those nozzles are painted very realistic.
The IP looks great as well, first I see that the IP is on the transparant sprue.

The seat is under preparation, I believe it will look sufficient under the closed canopy:

Thanks my friend @johnb!

This kit's PE fret was made from sort of thin stainless steel, not brass, so I left the buckles unpainted :-). Next will be installation of the red ejection handle and a couple of other handles (I believe they should be the "quick release" ones), then some corrections and touchups necessary to the seat (as it can be obviously seen at the above pic: many areas need retouching...)

Well done Spiros @fiveten
Those lowered flaperons bring some action, less static, in those "relaxed" positions.
