Big D Builds A Fighter With A Big Nose pt II

   A bit of a small update for this project. I've not exactly been hurrying with this kit; more like wandering over when I feel energetic and tinkering a wee bit. 

   I finally managed to get the cockpit section completed and i ahve to dmit that it loks like an utter dog's breakfast.

  Somehow other people manage to fit all these tiny bits together and make it look neat and realistic. I made it look like the whole thing was put together by drunken orangutans.

  I also managed to lose not one but three tiny parts. Two dropped on the floor and vanished, the third pinged off when I tried cutting it off the sprue and could be anywhere in Hampshire. 

  Oh, yes, I snapped both control columns in half.  That's why they're so short the pilots have to steer with their knees. 

  My hopes of this being soemthing I can post on /r/modelmakers are already fading...

  More updates to follow. Or I might just give up and jump on and down on the bloody thing. Could go either way.
