Here's what you have in the box :
( The Verlinden Tarmac section I put it in the box years ago when I bought the kit, forgot about it until I opened the box  )

Oh this will be good and I am looking forward to taking notes for my build  . Strange... my kit doesn't have the tarmac piece  |

The engine is pretty simple but with detail, no issues so far. Started working on the office too.
 
Nice work with some internal panels that can be opened and good detail on the fuselage.

What’s the tarmac section? It's a Verlinden tarmac section that I got decades ago, and when I bought this kit I put it inside this box. Forgot about it... until I opened it again for this build |

Wow, this is so cool! One of my top five favorite jets! I love it! Gonna follow this one closely. I also have an old Verlinden Vietnam-era revetment for 1/72 scale aircraft that I need to pull out and paint.

I know, these weeks... a mix of lazy, football, MotoGP, F1, lazy again, etc... but
Cockpit is done, been working on the front wheels, one wing is almost over, engine is done too, and cleaning up the fuselage...
For those who have this kit, the wing flaps weren't as easy as the instructions had planned... the fuselage has a lot of detail but the cockpit not so much.
I guess the decals make it more alive. Have to go work on the KraZ and Meng Tank...

Fine looking, Thud, John. Trumpeter could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by molding a one piece wing. Thud flaps were neutral position most of the time on the ground.

I like the look of that Everything fits inside, wheel bay and Cockpit, no issues there. I might close the fuselage this week, and working on the other wing.
