[papa 695]

Started this one got the cockpit done but I do think the seats need some seat belts on so they are not fitted yet.

A great choice and you will enjoy the build. I did. One thing to watch out with is attaching the twin booms. They are a bit obstinate to get lined up in all the right ways. Take your time with that bit.

Nice looking office. Its such a pity that you can't see much of it at all once the lid goes on. I'm just glad it was not me sitting in the coal hole, I would imagine that it was rather oppressive, sitting in the dark not seeing where you are going.

A nice start Ian, great cockpit detail

[papa 695]

Thanks for the heads up on the booms Ian. I can remember your build in the twin boom GB and a great build it was. I was going to build this one then but you beat me too it so I did the p38j instead

[Guest]

Great cockpit Ian, well done
