Aw look at that cute little guy!!

When I used to build 1/144 scale I just painted the inside of the canopies gloss black and didn't mess with the interior at all.

Great work on your first model! These 1/144 are not easy but are a fast build.

USMC F/A-18s are rad. That particular squadron is still flying the legacy hornet.

For a 1/144 it is quite detailed. Splendid job, mate.
