Just to keep you all updated, here are a couple more pics...
The cockpit. I filed all the detail off, covered it in Carbon decal and then re-did the detail with sliced wiring and photo etch nuts etc, and black wiring for the steering wheel button lead.
And finally I finished polishing the body! Lots of crevices! The reward for 5 weeks of hardening was a nice deep shine though! These kits start to come alive when you add the wing!
