Revell F2007

So here is a quick build from me, a Revell F2007. I work in a model shop and the previous model I built for the window display suffered some damage after it was dropped when we were putting christmas decorations up, so the boss said I could take a new kit for free. We get Revell kits free from the rep if we build them as a "shop display" so I decided to go for the F2007 and see if Revell have improved at all since my last build of theirs (I can't remember what it was but the fit was dreadful...). I'm still working on my RB4 so I want to get this finished as quickly as possible and thus I'm not too worried about it being 100% accurate.

So I've had the kit for two days and I've opened up the airbox with a dremel, sanded the moulded seat belts off and replaced them with Studio 27 belts, fitted various bits onto the body and primed it (I've fitted the mirrors and the two winglets in front of the cockpit since the picture below was taken) and I've started spraying the suspension parts. The engine is also together but seeing as this is a curbside all I've done it spray it silver. Not sure what to do about the front suspension yet but I think I might cut it in half. As usual, the CF decal from Revell is superb and it went on a charm! (Only done the cockpit so far though, not tackled the suspension yet). Dare I say it, but this kit has actually been really fun so far!
