A snowy Saturday so I have some time to get more work done.
The engines and wings are on. Lots of sanding and filling at the wing roots.
Still the cockpit looks nice.
There was a huge sink hole to hide on the starboard side of the fuselage. The wing roots needed considerable attention.
I forgot to add a seat belt earlier. No PE for this in the kit so I decided to
try using sticky notes as that is what I had laying around. Just did a coat of desert yellow and let it dry. While I was waiting for the notes to dry, I masked the engine intakes and burners to get the model ready for priming.
I use Glad Press N Seal for masking engines and other odd shapes. It conforms to most shapes and sticks to them quite well.
According to my research the Kikka used a three point harness. Must have been fun to fly a jet with a three point harness!
The sticky notes seat belt doesn't look too bad.
I used a metallic permanent marker to add some buckles and fasteners.
