an so far the lights work but still more to fit on 
an so far both motors are workin an ive painted up the rear rortor blades in their colours an the motors are takin power from their gold pick up pins 
an as this kit is such 
ive had to get out bigger clamps to close the gaps 
ive had to get out bigger clamps to close the gaps
an again it can be seen how bad a fit it is 
Looks like a bit of a hammer and nails job Chris. Sure you’ll sort it though.
an had to fit some plastic wood filler as i find this good stuff to fill gaps an its hard within 10 mins so it can then be sanded down an again a rotten fit so a lot of filein down to do 
HAMMER Tim if i had one in me hand it would go down on this rotten fit kit only hope the airfix one is better

an now fitting the bottom section an ive just soldered the last lot of wires an ive painted over the positive an negitive wires with makol as its a good insulater as it goes off like rubber an can stop any short outs 
Is the floor too wide for the fuselage Chris? My Revell one was, at the front.

an here another rotten fit thats gonna require a lot of filler as at its widest point its nr a 1/8th gap 
YES IT was Pete but i cut no end off to make sure this dint happen but as i could not fit the bottom propebely till i soledered all the black leds wires as they brake very easy as they are only as thick as human hairs i had to trust to luck an as you can see im not lucky
an i fitted a hinge to the cockpit door so it will open close as i done this on my merlin but that kit was a whole lot better fit an here its open so the pulic can see inside 
an closed up 
starbord side shot an if all the lights work the three crew memember will be seen but ive got to repaint their faces as i was just muckin about drawin on handle bar moustages but forgot to repaint them
