Yes :-adore Once when cockpit is assembled, rest going faster. I am impressed with precision of the kit and with some patience, it can result in superb build. No specific tips in cockpit work, only thing maybe better to do, is not to put all etched control sticks in cockpit side consoles before join cockpit elements, as suggested in assembly instruction. Reason for that is possibility to knock em out during protruding parts into each other to fit pin and holes. Better to do that after, access is so good as well visibility.

Inside wings are mark holes to drill em for possible fuel tanks and missile racks. I choose to do variant with clear wing, I simply want to make it so clear, variant with armament will use for some build in future. Wings precise match to fuselage, this kit almost dont need filler, except to seal join lines, to be 100% sure in smooth surface.

This is last stage of assembly before painting. What make doubt are two bottles behind the pilot head- I have seen it on only one photo, rest of photos of operational airplanes, I did not notice. Of other elements I assembly tail wheel leg and cockpit canopy. Extra smooth work thanks to the so precise made parts!!

Pleasure continue with painting, and this time for the very start, small surfaces on kit and small elements on fret. One omission I have make, I did not clean edges of landing gear struts, so they need additional work. No surface problems noticed, kit is of outstanding quality!!

Bottom is painted in Sea Grey Medium and top in Ocean Grey. To regret, I make one mistake- I forget to mask black step strip, so I will need to paint it later... :-(

Decals were applied on kit in two easy days. First day I put all service stencils and today I complete national insignia and unit markings. Most pleasant feature is the register letter what are on wing bottom, they are printed sliced, so very easy to put em on each landing gear door separately :-adore

Kit get layer of wash, much of it is clean up but need more clean and to make some strains. Some parts are adds and this is final step before flat varnish. Mainly this is landing gear step :))
