The jet engine halves, alien pilot, stand arm, and stand base will was not used in the movie so this build will not include these either. Only three parts will be used. The clear canopy which will be painted silver and the upper and lower fuselage halves.
Only movie I have watched from wiki (open the plot drop-down on your phone) back in February this year. I watched Ed Wood afterwards and had a better appreciation for Plan 9.
This cockpit dome part was already pulled off the sprue and loose in the box. I was about to work on the bottom to smooth it out and fill that gap. Dry fitting reveals this to be unnecessary. That ring around the cockpit hides all that anyway
