As mentioned in the first post, I mentioned a "new component".
This is the parts sheet for the "weapon's vents" section. As you can see, I have added "actual" (angled) vents like the actual fighter has. These new components (hopefully) will bring this (and the other TF builds) that much closer to being "screen accurate.

The new vents will replace parts 179, 180, 183, & 184.

The components are formed and assembled.

The Vent sections are put into place.

Here are a few closeups of the vents.

Needless to say, I will be adding these to the rest of the TFs that I will build in the future.

Great work. Cockpit look top notch. And you are fast as ferret:) (It is literal translation from my language, I do not know if it makes sense in english :). Does it? Do you say something like that?)

Thank you! I fully understand what you are saying! My son has 2 ferrets (and they are quite fast).:hammerhead::hammerhead::hammerhead:

The new component looks GREAT! I just realized which version your building! I asked you about it a couple years ago. I even saved the pictures of your finished build. This is going to be Awesome!

Thank you very much. I am glad that you like this version. The new components will be standard with all future TF builds.

Rhaven,

As always your work is top notch.:) I especially like the cockpit. :surprise::surprise: It reminds me of the work done by UHO2 from Japan. His version of the Orion spacecraft from 2001 still can't be beat.

Again, thanks for sharing your skills with the rest of us.:) Looking forward to seeing more.:animated:

Now it is time to finish the cockpit and the front console.

I attached the side gauges.

Here is the front console. As you can see, I recessed the screens and some of the dial meters.

I put the front console in place.

I attached the top and bottom parts of the fuselage.

Next will be the front Sponsons and (inside and outside) canards.
