Well, this one built up rather nicely.  Will post most of the photos when I get the backstory finished (there are a lot of them).  For now, here's a sample...

Yes, today was a marathon of a build day!  This morning the model looked pretty much exactly like it did in the last photo I posted.

Thankfully the canopy was relatively easy to get right, unlike the Convair canopy that I'm still having trouble with  :banghead:

The GBU-8s had relatively thin fins, but otherwise turned out okay.  I managed to find a model of an LAU-105 and printed it up for the Sidewinders to mount on.  The drop tanks got culled because I ran out of khaki paint, but that simplified mounting of the Sidewinders and the ECM pod.
