This is very nice!

I also tend to agree with 66 for the cockpit.

Correction done.

I have removed the tail; sanded the prominence and glued the tail in place again. Good result but of course I will have to use putty  :-green
I've used the part of a needle to reinforce the fixation of the tail, as you can see on the second photo...
Exhausts are painted in rust.

No problem my friend. My Belgian English is sometimes full of surprises too... ;)

So is my "English" English!! Where I live, the locals speak with a variety of Southern accents and have certain words that don't really exist. Ellen and I have the "neutral" Midwest U.S. way of speaking and it's easy to see we didn't grow up where we live!

This machine is coming along nicely, a far cry from the very basic 1/72 S-199 that was offered in the 1970s.
