Landing gear doors needed shims and - since I was concerned about light leaks from the cockpit to the exhaust I painted the entire insides black with Walmart craft paint.

Not sure now if I ever had the original Airfix wingtip tanks. The old Hasegawa ones will do though they are a bit on the thin side.

I think the display stand is the original Airfix one.

Pretty sure the bang seat came from a Hasegawa kit also.

Didn't expect my homemade exhaust to give me grief but it managed to!

Got it slimmed down so I can add it after everything is done. Should look the part when I am finished painting.

Had the FAOW for a while but just got the Tamiya Sanding Sponges ($14 @ Amazon) and the Scale Plans book ($12.50 @ Amazon) 🙂

Taking care of some sink marks on the 1/72 Airfix Starfighter while listening to one of my Spotify playlists.

Album info

Started this as a mostly OOB build for a 'Desktop' type model. Put in a cockpit tub of sorts, a bang seat leftover from another jet and an exhaust from a Hasegawa kit that got a resin replacement.
