Made a bit of progress, after a lot of filling and sanding that I wanted to finish before adding too many sticky-out bits. The bomb pylons needed a lot of cleaning up but they're on now:
Followed by the flaps, and the mountings for the external fuel tanks.
The clear parts had a couple of visible moulding lines, but looked a bit better after a coat of Pledge:
So, on with the masking
I needed to sand down the partition in the middle of the cockpit to get the canopies to sit down on the cockpit sides. The rearmost section doesn't fit the fuselage very well, and all three canopy sections are slightly wider than the fuselage so gluing them will be tricky. I'll need to use something with a bit more 'grab' than my usual Gator's Grip.
Soon be painting!
