A bit of an update here. The resin cockpit is all cleaned up and base coated. I just need to detail it out and then this thing should go together quick. I had a BIG win over the weekend. We were in Colorado Springs, CO over the weekend. My oldest son and I made the mandatory hobby shop tour which consists of two Hobbytown's. We weren't expecting much but at the second and larger of the two my boy found this.

The exact sheet I need for this build!!!

So what? I've been looking for this sheet for at least six months. I want to do the VF-111 CAG bird. Hannant's has it but I didn't want to order just that alone because of the postage.

Anyway, I'm a happy guy!!!

Now I can really get rolling on this one. I can make it. Plenty of time left.
