Love seeing someone taking an uncommon subject and not only obscure but a kit that is multi media and a challenge. In a war that featured the F-86 and MiG-15's, as well as the other well known aircraft used such as the Corsair, Mustang, Meteor, F-80's, B-26's etc. But also some not so well known, like the Fairey Firefly and a B-45 Tornado. Like the variant George built. Gb's like this bring out special projects that normally think about and contemplate to build someday. So looking forward to this build. Will enjoy seeing this come to fruition Neil.

Thanks for that Chuck , I'm feeling quite inspired with this kit myself.

Just a quick update on my progress, I found the cockpit and navigators position a bit overloaded with pointless tiny details that wont be seen and the fit of the two fuselage halves was close but not perfect as you can see from all my filling and rubbing down, however I found the fit of the wings so close that I had to snap them into position and could of easily locked them in without any glue at all, I didn't by the way !. Up to know it's coming along nicely but appearances can be deceiving , I still have a ton of work to do but maybe work is the wrong word...

Here's a quick up date on my progress, I didn't fancy masking up the clear parts as it's more like a greenhouse ! so I opted for the Eduard masking set .
Cheers Neil.

I somehow missed the last update, neil @neil-foster.
Looks superb already!
Those Eduard masks seem to do the job (I hate masking canopies...)
Waiting for your progress, my friend!

Well a Sunday morning tidy up of the workbench and a few shots to give you an up date of my progress. The main bulk of this build is now completed but as you guys know there is probably as much time left in finishing as I have spent so far , I still have the landing gear ,the radar pod and the missiles and propeller assembly to build and paint , the decals and other small details to complete and maybe some light weathering. Up to now this has been a very enjoyable kit to work on , hope you like it so far.

Looks grear, Neil @neil-foster!
What you said about time left to finish a model is absolutely true: you go on and on, and the model doesn't seem to finish... And voila! At a point it's done!
