Very nicely detailed, and done in a flash!

Got the engine completed, and put the fuselage halves together.

great work so far, that engine looks brilliant

[papa 695]

Got the seams cleaned up, also put the wings, tail plains and engine cowling together.

I will need to put some primer on to check the seams properly.

This is definitely one rapid build Ian!!
Looking most excellent

[Airborne01]

Rapid indeed! Is he a Man, is he a machine ... ?

Looking good Ian.

How bad are the fit issues and how much cleaning up is needed. I seem to remember reading a review that said it was a bit off fit wise.

To be honest Andrew, I'm finding the fit quite good at the moment. Dry fitting helps a lot and there are a few seam lines to fill a little, but ok really.

Cockpit and the engine look great and the build is whizzing along Ian, you’re smashing it as the youth say :tears-of-joy:

Good to hear Ian, given I have one in the stash!

Keep up the good work.

[papa 695]

I’ve got the wings and tail fitted, also the engine and cowlings ( not the best fit, but will be able to fix easily)

Coming along nicely Ian, I’m sure you will be able to bash the cowling into shape :thumb2:

[papa 695]

All primed and ready for painting.
