The top right corner of the instrument panel decal in the last photo seems to have lifted, or is it supposed to be like that?

 

[flyjoe180]

I have now got the part where I binned my last one I seem to have got off lightly on the centre section of the wings just a bit of filling needed the bigger problem is on the outer wing section the top lines up well but it leaves a big step on the bottom but nothing that a bit of sanding won't cure.View attachment 319912View attachment 319913View attachment 319914View attachment 319915View attachment 319916View attachment 319917View attachment 319918

Doing a grand job there Peter. I love seeing Beaufighters built as they were based not to far from me at RAF Dallachy

Finally at last it's now looking like a aircraft as I have the tail and undercarriage attached and along with the engine's.
And I have the canopy attached and masked off ready for painting.View attachment 320721View attachment 320722View attachment 320723

<<< rubbing his hands together and sniggering like Monty Burns. This is turning into a cracking build Peter. Just how big is the wingspan?

I have started on the decoration and the after market decals are a nightmare so I am using a combination of kit and after market decals.View attachment 321118View attachment 321119
