Even though glued down, the silkspan is tightening at the area where the intake meets the fuse. It's a common problem with this kind of geometry. |

"Primer" is light gray acrylic |

Covering complete, checking for fit |

| Miramar? Top Gun, maybe? |

The flat root rib has a balsa block glued to it which has been carved to fit the contour of the fuse before covering. . |

Covering from front to back, these are the first three pieces. |

Tail feathers and wings covered, starting on the intakes... |

No need to be pretty with Micro-Fill--this sands down beautifully. |

| It's always an inspiration to see your work in progress. Because of you, I bought some Micro-Fill - I've never even heard of it before. I am anxious to see how this will be covered, as Poppy says there are a lot of complex curves. |

| I thought the same as moostang, I thought this was a photo of your finished model. |

| Oh! Is that a hinged canopy. Nice armament also, a sidewinder and a folding fin aircraft rocket. BTW, if not for the pilot inside, I assumed that this was your finished aircraft already. LOL. Nice choice, camo with no hints of green. A possible Morrocan RAF desert scheme? |

the probable color scheme |

| Silkspan is going to lay beautifully over this. Don't think they'll be any first coat of primer sag here. Really like the carved rear solid surfaces. |

| Micro-Fill Rules!!! The only section covered, with silkspan, so far is the small area on the fuse behind the plastic intakes. |

| Another one on the way to museum quality. Those compound curves are very tricky to cover for most. You do it beautifully. |

| Also if ever an aircraft called for a hinged lift-up canopy, Bingo... this is the one. |
