Quick update, had to put this on hold while I get some Reno’s down in my basement - my old shop space is totally gone and I’m setting up a temp space. Just a few little touches to wrap it up!

I got a little more done. I did manage to drop it when I was setting up my new space - breaking a wing, 1 mirror and knocking off one 500lb bomb. Repaired most of it and got the pilot assembled.

Out of the decal stash which I add to whenever I can. He may have been a real pilot, not sure! 
 

here’s another update: the carrier deck is underway.

I’ve noticed that it’s hard to find pilot names in white font. Most real U.S. aircraft have black lettering on grey fuselages. I noticed recently while watching a modeling video that the F-117 had white names since the aircraft was black. I’m going to pick up a decal sheet to supply some names for VF-1s.

The model is looking great!

Iirc I do have a an F-117 sheet in my stash; that’s probably where the white name came from!

Not great photos as my set up is packed up but almost complete. Still refining the panel lining and maybe add some fine weathering.
