Time for update #1. I’ve been working on the cockpit, and although there isn’t much of it at 1:72 scale, I think I’ve made a reasonably good effort.

Overall, this kit is going together well, with no major problems thus far. I will have to mix my lacquer paints to achieve the correct shade of grey found on the CF-18s, but as my adage from school goes, “that’s tomorrow’s problem”.
