Fuselage (is it a fuselage?) is made of two halves and the cockpit module sandwiches very snug between these.

Then the front face pushes on. This has a small heads up display for the pilot.

Rear face, this is the end that houses the Paired Ionic Thrust Generator :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek:

Bottom plate for the fuslage. This pushes tightly and perfectly to the fuselage assembly. The Armatek VL-61/79 Proton Bombs fall from here.

More updates as soon as i can :)

Maybe i need a splash of colour somewhere in the detail at the front of the cockpit?

Ohhh, so very nice - Bandai generally does awesome kits, their topic choice is normally some sci-fi franchise (see my Master Grade MS way back when) ... would be awesome if they did tanks - I suppose I'm going to check out the 1:35 Typ-61 tank from the Gundam franchise at some point.

The pilot looks very nice and the cockpit details are cool, they really stand out with the drybrushing and it should be the exactly right compromise between detail and visibility for an interior! :mrgreen:
i thought we better balance out the do-gooding rebels
