The sixth week of the YF-23 was spent getting ready to assemble the fuselage halves. I completed the exhaust port modifications to match the reference photos. I also assembled the intake ducts and installed the main gear bays. The upper vent photo etch screens were installed and I am now working on the lower screens and then installing the cockpit tub. I am hoping to have the fuselage halves together this next week even though we have some plans over the 4th of July weekend.
You can see all the photos and detail of this start in the build log at: 1/48 YF-23 ATF – Black Widow II
