The cockpit is in the fuselage along with the radiator. The exhausts fit from the inside of the fuselage and are a little tricky to line up straight.
I found the best way of getting the fuselage halves to close up was to remove the rear bulkhead ring from the cockpit section, otherwise it all gets a little tight and leaves big gaps along the fuselage seam. You can't see the rear bulkhead once the fuselage is closed up, so you don't miss much.
After gluing the fuselage halves together, I then find out that the instructions fail to tell you to put the tail wheel mount in the rear, so I then had to take apart the fuselage again to install the part, much swearing was involved
.
The build continued at a rather fast pace, with the wings, tail planes, rudder and flaps all going on in quick succession.
The undercarriage followed and fits well and seems to hold the weight of the kit.
The wing lights on rocket firing Typhoons were faired over, as the rocket exhaust was thought to set fire to the perspex covers, Some plasticard was fitted and sanded into place.
I have deployed the flaps as down as I like the detail, but I haven't seen one photo with the flaps down, so its probably not actually accurate.
A few joins needed filling along the fuselage and wing root seams.
She is now in the paint shop.
