Thanks Kev!

Thanks phasephantomphixer and ScottsGT (really like your rollout colours version!) for your comments and anyone else who commented or reacted as well. I've enjoyed working on this kit, which is good as I have, I think another 2 or 3 of them to build up. Unfortunately I've run out of gas for the build and time on this Group Build, so Kevin if you could move this over to Works in Progress for me that would be greatly appreciated and I can share further work on my F-16 when I get back to it. For now I have started working on an 1/32 Eduard Bf 109E-1 to keep myself at the workbench. Talk to everyone soon, Ted

I finally have my bird up on it's landing gear! I don't imagine that I will have her done by the end of the month but I will keep trying to make progress!

Managed to squeeze a little bit more into my kit while my mother was visiting. The seat is now glued in place instead of sitting loose...I'll worry about seat belts a bit later. And the hud pieces are glued in place and painted.

Thanks Mongoose! My favourite part of any model is painting the cockpit!

Now she's starting to look like an plane! I changed my mind on the finish and have decided to do the camouflaged FSD aircraft.

Thanks Brad!

More progress. Glued the nose on, fuselage halves and one set of speed brakes in closed position.

A day or two late, but I think except for seat belts on the seat, I can now glue the fuselage halves together.

Thanks Mike! I hope to finish the interior and post more pics tonight.

Yay! Finally getting some more progress done! Seat belts to be added and a bit more buttons and knobs to be painted but I hope to be able to close up the fuselage soon.

Sprayed paint on the interior and dabbed some red on the Stencil seat.

Okay...the interior is all assembled and ready for paint...maybe tomorrow!

A bit more done. Inside bulkhead pieces glued in place, panels filed and fitted to the best of my ability and the cannon area painted cuzz I like to do that sort of thing despite the fact that it won't be seen once the panel is in place.

Thanks Guys, Been getting some stuff done around family visits, figuring out my boat motor and generally the "it's nice outside cutting of lawns and watering of flower beds".
