Nice to see this back on the bench. Moulded door looks to have been neatly removed. Ejector mark were a nuisance but well fixed.

Hi Jim and Nick, yep, it was long overdue and had to be built. Opening the door was fun to make. Haven't used the drill for a while.

Cheers,

Hi, continuation of the build. I made a boo boo by drilling out the Astrodome hole then finding out the version I was doing doesn't have one. A little strip and putty will fix that...

Then I painted detail to the cockpit seats...

And weathered the seatbelts.
Next I glued the fuselage halves...

And sanded down the joints.
More later...

Cheers,
Wabble

Hi Guys, more work on the Hudson...


Painted up the IP and stuck it in...


Sanded down the turret fairing assembly...some dinks and gaps need puttying.


Got the wing halves cemented and used tape to hold them together at the leading edge to align and not have a step...saves sanding and cleaning up.

Cheers,
Wabble
