Just caught up Dave. Some very nice work going into this one. Keep up the great work.

I will drill some more and move the pylon forwards a few millimetres.

At least it will cover the first set of holes, so probably no need for more filler

[Dave W]

Ive masked the first vacform canopy and cut it out.

I’ve now got both wings on.The dihedral looked far too much.so I cut them partly off and added plastic card packers at the upper wing root.So of course more filling and sanding was needed.Then I rescribed the aileron and flap panel lines.

I’ve added the seats with Eduard seat belts and the instrument panels. I used decals from my spares box for the instruments as none are provided in the Kit. I’ve also added a spare gun sight from my recent Airfix Mustang to the Left fuselage cockpit.

I’m now fitting the canopies. I’ve cut the left hand one so I can have it in the open position.Sliding part will be fitted after the kit has been painted.

I’ve made some boxes to fill the void behind the seats .Probably not accurate.But to me it looks better than an empty space.Ive also glued the vacform windscreens on.

A coat of Alclad black primer shows up a few joins that need more work.

After countless sessions of filling and sanding I’ve finally got a coat of paint on it.Vallejo metallics range ‘white aluminium’ over Alclad black primer.It needs rubbing down in s couple of places and another coat putting on.
