Nice kit, that's two of these we've got on the go now. Did my first tour at Coningsby on F4's a long time ago!

[MarkVerploeg]

Great choise for a kit
ooh wait that is the same as mine
it is a pretty good build though and i had some good fun over the last 2 days while i was building it
mine is almost ready for paint by now but i can tell you that the landing gear doors can be a bit of a pain
but i made mine with closed doors so that maybe the reason
other wise i didn't find any real problems
the holes for the weapon pylons need to be filled and the middle decal for the instrument panel needs trimming as it is a bit too long but more like too wide
some decal solution could help aswell
have fun with the build

Here is my 'to date progress'

As usual cockpit first. Not the biggest in the world as you can tell by the stand

dry fit

Didn't come out to bad though. Seat / tub XF-66, X-1 side panels, light sand of and dry brush for detail!
Pilot, Agau color 68, then Very thin wash with white mixed in. Helmet, X-6/ X-11 mix. not quite as recommended, but I liked it and it's mine. Visor, Humbrol Gold. Not correct but again I like it.

P.S. the white splodge on the right knee is supposed to be the note panel found on most flight suits!
