It looks great! This is part of the fun of MaK, the scratchbuilding opportunities.

I also cut the canopy in preparation of having the cockpit open.

With the installation of the front strut I was able to close up the cockpit and work on the canopy layout. The canopy will lift forward supported by gas struts that I fabricated out of aluminum tube and copper wire. Here is how things look right now.

Thanks for all the kind words!

While the future is curing on the canopies I moved on to the wing/fuselage. The parts have decent detail on the outside, the inside is completly open. The area that appears to be air intakes is completly open and you can see the whole interior. So I'm working on closeing that up and adding details. More on that later. I have added more detail painting of the cockpit and a olive green wash to the seat as well a black wash to the rest of the interior. You will also notice that I have green tinted the upper glass of the rear canopy.

I love those struts on the canopy, too! Your detailing really pays off, given how visible everything is in that cockpit. Great job, I can hardly wait for your next update!

That's a nice way of dealing with the mold line on the exhaust bells. Those give MaK builders fits.
 
A little more engine work primarily on the nozzles. Scratch building is fun, but slow. You come up with the idea and then come up with how to build it.
