Looking good so far Peter. I'd be interested to see how it all goes together. I had an old Revell version which I never got round to building and sold on because of the issues getting both tails squared up properly.

Here's my next update all the body parts and wings are now together and with no problems the nose section has weight in it but this is thhe first one i have done that doesn't tail sitView attachment 241815
