Frank, I built that version a few years ago. I worked on them in the California Army National Guard in the late 60's. Here is a link to some of the photos I took then, and others I have collected thanks to others. The second link is my build log. I remember the nacelles being a three or four handed operation, kind of like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Nice shots John, thanks for sharing those. :good:
 
You're welcome. It felt really good when mine was finished, but most of it was not so bad. The cockpit pe around the seats was off a little, some test fitting with the canopy while putting it in is a good idea. And it was leagues easier than attempting the alternative, the Airmodel vacuform!

After reading John's build on his site, I put a lip inside the opening to help spread the cockpit glazing.

More detailing on the cockpit.
The seats were filled with putty, then painted interior green.
Seat belts add alot to the interior.
