Made a start on this one. Got the cockpit painted and seat ( still some work on that to do ) also got the fuse halves together and cowling built.

Ouch! Not a good fit at all.

 

[papa 695]

Got some better pictures of the cockpit, also build the wheel well and got the cowling to fit.

Still plenty of work to do on them.

Sorry if it's just my eyes but is the cockpit green (RLM02). Thought it would be blue grey (RLM 66). Again sorry if it's my eyes and monitor

 

[Guest]

Hi Ian
Bit late in sorry. Good price for this kit. Mind you given the fit of the cowling probably fair :smiling:
Nice start with the cockpit and well done sorting the cowling fit. Maybe it will be easier from now on.
Jim

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Jim, nice to have you aboard. The rest of it is going very well, not sure if it was my fault with the cowling, but being only 4 bits I don't think so.

 

[papa 695]

Think I spoke too soon. Just fitted the wings.

Wow you could get a London bus through them gaps. Filler or plasticard time?

 

[Lee Drennen]

Ian
Sorry for those nasty gaps I hate when you have to put more work into a model than required. I’m having the same problems with the Airfix Autocar build I’m doing oh well it makes us better modelers I suppose. Keep up the good work
