As per vote I will be keeping this one clear but the internals will be done as normal build the firs things I have done is the gearing for the landing gear and the bomb dropping mechanism this s fully working kit ie: raising and lowering landing gear working prop and dropping bombsView attachment 274325 View attachment 274326 View attachment 274327 View attachment 274328 View attachment 274329 View attachment 274330 View attachment 274332

After a couple of hours taking apart and reassembly I have finally got the battery box,langing gear motor and bomb dropping mechanism in place and working and the next up will be the landing gear internals for the wing.View attachment 274427 View attachment 274428 View attachment 274429 View attachment 274430 View attachment 274431 View attachment 274432 View attachment 274433

I have just finished the landing gear and is now fully installed and tested and I will be starting on the tail wheel flaps everything is going to be painted as it would be on a normal build.
And there will be the added addition of some lights.View attachment 274560 View attachment 274561 View attachment 274562 View attachment 274563 View attachment 274564

I have decided to leave out the lights but I Will be painting one half of the place so it covers up the glue marks on one side.
So far I have the two halves together and the tail wheel fitted.
The bomb dropping mechanism is now finished jus awaiting the gun bays witch are finished and the connecting piece to operate the tail wheelView attachment 274796 View attachment 274797 View attachment 274798 View attachment 274799 View attachment 274800 View attachment 274801 View attachment 274802 View attachment 274803
