Wings, Engines, and Seat belt

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.
