Thanks for the kind comments guys

Almost there..........
Sorry no pics tonight.
Airframe painting and details complete , will Klear tomorrow ready for decals.
Canopy masked , ready for a lick of paint.
Still a bit of work to do on the weapons , but this ,for me , is quite a quick build and Im really enjoying my first GB

ps ...just realised I had a PE set for the F3

...might try to use a few bits on the model.

Painted the canopy , bit of help thanks to Mr Eduard .

Drop tanks painted , this aircraft obviously borrowed a GR Tornados grey/green tank , the other tank is painted Medium Sea Grey , another that was pinched me thinks !!

Bang seats in , HUD added ( holographic confetti ) , canopy on.
Decals from kit , Hasegawa, Italeri and Modeldecal .
This is what it looks like tonight ....

No pics tonight....( might not be any for a bit ....left me battery charger in the cottage we stayed at in Ambleside

)

Undercarrige on and still messing on with the weapons fit , no location pins on the ALARMS , or on the pylon "adaptors " for them.....very tricky to fit but getting there....woops nearly forgot to decal the weapons before I fit them

Even though I Kleared the canopy its misted a bit

OH BOTHER !!!

For some insane reason which I cant remember ( probably because it was closer to me

) I used super glue instead of my usual method , white glue ....oh well ...I can always pass it off as a lot of condensation on a very hot day
