The fuel tanks and gear were fitted, the canopy was dipped in the USA Pledge variant and allowed to dry for a day. This gave me time to paint the resin seat and install it, then on to the intake and exhaust blanks. These were made from scrap plastic packaging that was from a previous delivery, a masking tape template made and transferred over they were then cut and sprayed Hataka Red.
The whole model was then sealed with Windsor & Newton Matte varnish then the canopy glued with PVA, the finishing touch was the pitot tube as the kits one is very clumsy and odd looking so a suitable needle was found and attached with a remove before flight tag!
