I had a internet problem in the last three days, and this is what happened. The cockpit is done, and sit in the nose now, and the body is progressing nicely too.

Looking good so far Dave. Looking at the section behind the nose and in front of the Cockpit. Seems you had a little gap problem. or it could be the pics.
Anyway keep going she gonna be a beauty when she's done.

Mrs.Uday,
I disagree with your assesment of Hasegawa Kits.Mr.Tong appears to be creating a Silk Purse out of the Sow's ear.I like the job he has done so far on the cockpit.I trust the rest of his model will turn out equally well.

Hi SS-74

That cockpit looks wonderful! :-) This model should look stunning when it's finished!

All the best
