into the front section of the fuselage. Next, the
rear portion was glued together and attached
to the front section via a bulkhead. Both air
intakes and splitter plates were next, however,
the it here was not the best and required some
careful gluing, illing, sanding, and re-scribing
to get a reasonable look. The wings and rear
horizontal stabiliser were then glued into
place. The drop tanks and wingtip fuel tanks
were then glued together ready for painting
separately. The remaining parts, like the wheels
gear bay doors and undercarriage legs were
all removed from the sprues,
cleaned up and mounted on
skewers ready for painting. As the
kit supplied canopy can only be positioned
closed, so I glued it in place and masked
it up. The fuselage was cleaned up and I
applied a coat of black primer.
The model was then given a
marble coat of white for some
tonal modulation, ready the
camoulage colours. The irst
shade I applied was HatakaTHE STARFIGHTER A SUPERSONIC MISSILE SHAPED
