Then I painted the cockpit tub in ocean grey and the small tank in silver. the intake fan is painted in gun metal.

The seat also got some ocean grey. Forgot to add it to the previous picture.

The front part of the intake goes together quite nicely. Here the fuselage parts are just test fitted as the rod should be fitted first. But before that the seams needs to be taken care of and the inside of the intake painted white.

It’s quite a bit of pieces that needs to be sorted before I can start assembly the fuselage. Then I guess the whole build will gain speed and start to look like a plane pretty quick.
