Hi all
More progress, I've decided to change the cockpit design as you can see from above it was going to be a bath type of design with a clear nose made from some interesting bubble packaging and the rest made up from clear acetate.
However as this is being constructed for someone else I figured I needed something a bit more robust the result of which is this...

I found a couple of clear canopies that looked pretty good then went off on a hunt to find something to sit the pilot in.
This was harder than you think ! eventually I found the end of a large scale comformal fuel tank was pretty close and with a bit of persuasion by heating and bending and some side extensions it was made to be a good fit
A plasticard bulkhead was added and some sprue extensions ready for joining to the main fuselage

The canopy and pilot are only placed in position at the moment, I need to detail the cockpit before fixing.
While that was drying i have completed the engine pack, it will be installed when the model has been sprayed.
