The seventh week was spent detailing the canopy and preparing all the landing gear, tail hook, weapons bay, and boarding ladder doors. The doors required a lot of work to clean up numerous mold marks and there were a few issues with the doors and also the canopy.
I am now working on the starboard nose gear door which has some avionics boxes that need to be scratch built and hooked to the wiring I added previously to the nose gear bay. I am hoping to start the painting later this week once all the doors have been installed.
You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 F-35C – VFA-86 Sidewinders
