Ok started and finished today.
Not a bad little kit, but not a good one either. The fit was ok but the pilot leaves a lot of questions.
Here's the progress pics
And here's the finished kit (more photos will be in gallery when I take them tomorrow as the flash makes it look brighter than it is)

Crikey, that was quick!
That pilot looks like he could do with feeding up a bit...
