After building a few complete dogs over the past couple of months this is an absolute delight.
Seems like if you cut all the pieces off the sprue, threw then in the box and gave it a good shake the model would come out perfectly built!!!!
I'm building OOB with the only aftermarket being an Eduard Canopy Mask. I plan on building the Blue Aggressor base at Nellis.
Here's how I'm hoping she'll look when finished. Taken at Nellis back in 2009



I'm going to have the canopy closed so the decal seatbelts won't look too bad.

Still learning about washes, but I think the wheel-well looks okay so far.

Progress so far

Time for a small update. Construction is pretty much done. Such a joy to build. I've primed and am about to start painting:
Dry fit of the indercarrage

The jetpipe is still a work in progress. It looks okay but not quite there yet.

Primed using Tamiya fine primer. It seems to give a very smooth surface for the paint.
