I have had some time to make a dent in this slowed (but not stalled) build. IP fitted with a bit of trimming so that the pilot's coaming wasn't fouling and secured with CA. The side consoles just don't look right with the seats dry fitted and may need jiggled about.

The wings, horizontal stabilisers, intakes, airbrake and engine bay panel are also glued on with the airbrake in the closed position. The flap hinges were an interesting affair, the instructions are all wrong the part numbers for the flaps up/down hinge positions. The flaps themselves are going to be interesting to fit, one is too long for the trailing edge and the smaller section of the slotted flap has lousy guide markings for fitting! (Not shown here)
Some filling has been done but there is much left to including those holes in the wings for weapons pylons that won't be fitted.
