Now it's time for the engine I have installed it and started to put all the bits and pieces around it as I intend to have it with engine covers off.[ATTACH]326212[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326213[/ATTACH]

Hi Peter
Looks great so far. Love the detail on these larger scale planes. Glad everything is lined up OK as some of the early photos looked rather awkward to get all nice and square.

Looking really good. Plenty of detail going on. Keep going :smiling4:

I thought I was about time I dragged this off the shelf of doom and cleared some of my big box kits
So I have been adding more details but I will be going with the closed up version.

Some more work done this time I have the central wing section and inner structure and added a bit of wash around the landing gear bay

[peterairfix]

Finished the inside of the undercarriage bay and finally got the wings and some bodywork on so underneath the mountains of masking tape is an aircraft.

Made another effort to finish but I went to put the engine covers on it's a shocking fit lots of filling needed good job I have stock up.

That's big gaps on a big kit

[Komedy]

those gaps would break my heart.

I had similar fit issues with the Airfix 1/24 Fockewulf. Thank goodness for plastic card and putty. Love these large war bird builds.

A bit 'gappy' indeed. I think I might be tempted to leave the engine covers off and show the engine. That'll save a job.
