Had a spare half hour earlier this afternoon and made a bit of a start on the SR.53.
Got the fuselage and some of the internal parts cleaned up. Will get some paint down tomorrow.

Got some paint down on the interior. Dark metallic in the jet/rocket tubes and dark grey in the cockpit tub and sidewalls.
My plan to swap the seat for a resin MB.4 I found in my spares hasn’t quite worked. It’s a little too tall to fit.
Will have to use the kits, but I think I’ll improve it with padding, straps and wire firing handle.

My 120mm ETSY one-piece 3D-printed Cybergirl/woman figure is primed.
As the saying goes, the digital camera has captured some leftover 3D-printed sprue marks on the cheek and sweater that my naked eyes couldn’t see so I’m going to lightly sand that down and then spray primer again.

Looking good, Peter. Seems to be a very clean cast with sharp details.

Just enough daylight when I got home the last few days to get the cockpit tub and instrument panel painted. I managed to find a couple of images of the SR.53’s cockpit to work from.
Just got to work on the ejection seat. I believe it was fitted with a Martin Baker Mk.2 seat.
And I worry that I’ve gotten a slight obsession with this aircraft. I’ve 2 of the trainer variants AZ have issued!

The 3D marks on the cheek could be kept and painted as scars. It would fit to a battle-proven cyberwoman, I think.

Great idea, @Agriamodeling ! Thank you for sharing. I think I’ll do just that and save me the trouble of sanding and priming the figure again.
