@Cybergrinder These look really good! I am looking forward to seeing your build of the rest of the collection.
@Revell-Fan , TB2 was always my favourite as well, loved the pods
Here's the cockpit section, Ijoy's model is pretty cool, he provides a seperate sheet with the strips
Heres the cockpit with strips attached
And glued together
Bit of a glue overflow under the cockpit to fix up

I'd consider cutting out the windows, and using a darkened plastic, for depth, or not, just an idea.
Thought did cross my mind but the strip sits directly under the windows. I am going to greeble other sections though

Thanks for the suggestions Zathros, but I'm going to keep as is for now. (Maybe if I do a rebuild at sometime)
So, cockpit nose attached
Then the engine intakes - here's the parts
And assembled
And attached to the hull. II really like the fit overall look of these parts

Pods, TB4, recovery vechiles and firefly are all in the same scale
