Your pilot will look okay under a canopy Chris. I don't fancy his chances of a successful flight at the moment

NO Joe it would be a bit brezzey wounldnt it lol but at the moment im stuck as i cant decide whick parts to do as i want to light up the instrement panel as TAMYIA have given me clear glass video screens in the panel but i cant fit it till the top fusealage is fitted on an then i can get to the leds wires to connect them up so they will light up but ive come with an idea on how to get around it an also another problem whats holding me up is i want the nose cone to hinge open to show off the radar but again the problem is the fusealarge is in half an not enough plastic to fit the hinge on but again ive got an idea on how to get around that also an ones ive sorted these probs then i can get stuck into fitting the wing an tail lights (phew)Your pilot will look okay under a canopy Chris. I don't fancy his chances of a successful flight at the moment

HI GUYS well the lighting wirein is nearly done just got to wire in 3 more lights then i can start to build her an TAMYIA instruckion booklet is next to useless as parts dont fit when i fitted in the pilots tub on the lower fusealarge the top part of the fusealarge wont fit down nice an snug so had to grind off some mounting an now it does but been doin this nr all day an the wireing an here the bottom part of the fusealarge wireing done an mini plug fitted to take power up to the top part of the fusealarge 
AN HERE ive just fitted some lights in the instrement panel an the wires for them an the big cutout is for the gatlin gun inspection panel an im hopein to fit a mini hinge on this so it can be open or closed an see the acual gun an i may fit a light in there so the gun can be seen easy 
AN i manged to fit the pilot in his tub in the top fuealarge section an now it all fits ok an i painted up his oxergen mask in grey so he looks a bit better an you can see the male section of the mini eletric plug that takes power up to the top fusealarge plug that plugs into the lower fusealarge section so a mistake there still 4 lights to wire in as i forgot the gatlin gun hatch an you can see the mini male eletric plug that takes power up to the top fusealarge

looks comprehensive
HI Joe no them wires not a problem as i said to edbert them wires are very thin an the wires run through a tunnel in the pilots tub so no probs there im sure an the back undercart was a job to fit as well as had to cut off about a qauter of an inch off the bottom of the fusealarge to get the meatal undercart to fit in its slot an screwed in place again not what i have done but its done correct now an yes i see what you mean but on any model i make i always check an make sure that what im doin wont affect the goin togeather of the kit if it did then i would leave out the wireing if you see what i mean but many thanks for your reply on this subject
