Doh!

I'm getting close myself. Decals done, dullcote done. Just need to finish painting the gear and install the gear doors & wheels. B)

I still have the gear doors to add, the pitot & about 1/2 the decals. Need ta figger out the nose gear tho :frantic

 

[Hippy Ed]

Ok, got the nose gear installed & she's standing on her own now!! Got a few more decals on. Will need a couple hours & she'll be done... B) But, with family coming over, it's hard to get into building... :frantic

Gear doors are attached, burners inplace. Waiting for glue to dry so I can flip her over, slap the tail on & attempt to attach the horizontal stabilizers & a lil touch up paint & she'll be done. :geek

Thanks. Nope, no fuel tanks. They normally flew clean. I threw the pylons on just for show. They did however use a flasher pod on the port wing for night recon missions but, didn't last too long since the enemy could zero in on them.
