The cockpit is proving to be a real *%**(*&(*

The canopy opening mechanism - that unique F-5/F-20 style one - is designed to be done in the open position, and as it doesn't hinge/fold, getting it into the shut position is proving problematic.  I know other builders on ARC have had the same problem with this kit.  I can't just leave it off as that leaves a big hole behind the bang seat

underneath.  Will soon be time to break out the milliput and fill those gaps!

Looking good Nev - with those wings it looks almost like a small/cheap F22 ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Underneath.

Should get her primed today, and painted up in the next week or 2 (famous last words)

I really like the look of her with the 3 underwing pylons.

I decided to cut off the wingtip rails, partly to alter the look slightly, partly cos I broke the ends of them off  :P

no Nev, the wingtip rails were removed by Northrop due to their drag-inducing qualities...  ;)

looking good!

You should have left them on, they act as blanking plates and give the aircraft a better rate of roll.

Re-F-104 with the AIM-9s that could turn faster than without...

Good job, keep it up!

Looks like a serious wingload of potential ordnance, eh?

Wow!
