New nose is printed and glued in place, now it's time to make the y-pylons, drill the cannon port, and PSR the gaps.

Unfortunately my pilot figure with the VTAS helmet failed to print, so I'll have to tweak the settings and see if that corrects the issue.

Will there also be a bulge at the gun port, like on F-14?

That's the plan.  I actually have a spare gun fairing from a Revell F-14D kit that I can probably use.  That may be my best option for getting something that looks right, was having trouble with that part printing correctly.

If that's the easiest and simplest way to get great results mate then that's the best way forward 👍
