this is very nice work Oldyzracer1 - solid effort with the sliding canopy and flaps/ailerons.
It's coming together very nicely!
...you made that out of a box of sticks..?
...what is WRONG with you!

I got around to spraying some green onto the cockpit frames. Now it needs to dry for a week or so before I prime it.

White primer/paint on. Now I’ll let it dry for at least two weeks.

I let it dry for 2 months, but it still bubbled and cracked a bit. Looks okay, though. Lots of orange peel on the tail. I am putting the decals on now.

Bombs and missiles added. I ran out of cockpit green, but it is done except for touching up some overspray in the wheel wells.
