Here is an update.

Here are the side pieces of the fuselage (with the inset greebles).

I attached the cockpit interior to the inside of the fuselage.

I closed up the fuselage, and added an extension to the back so that it will sit right in the engine section.

I attached inlet vanes to the bottom. These will also be another "point of contact" for the fuselage to the engine section.

This piece is the center piece for the engine section.

A little paint to bring out the details.

I dry fit the center piece and engine exhausts.

Now to finish the panels for the fuselage.

Please stay tuned to your local Colonial Broadcasting Network for further development as it happens.

Great work, and to be honest, I think this is looking better than the Mk II and Mk VII in NBSG. I'm loving this.

Here is a small update.

I have attached the canopy in the open position (so that people can see the cockpit interior).

Here is the tail. Yes, I am cheating a bit :sticktongue: by using the tail from the Scarlet Viper MK-II (that I built back in October 2019).
20211108_101858.jpg

The tail is attached.

The tail is painted.
