Here's my offering for this build I have brought the laser cut frame set to save time..
I am likely to over run knowing my history with card kits.
Some pics

Never really seen a card kit this complex get built.
You have my attention. Oh! Good luck.

And mine. Are those laser cut frames card or thin ply wood?

It's All card

I assume, like most card kits, this is pre-coloured?

The number of 1/200 card ship kits out there is astounding!

Nice one Peter!

 

[john hutton]

Peter,
I am in, will be intrigued watching this go together, never having seen an all card model built..

 

[peterairfix]

i have managed to make a small start but its been a supreme effort to get this far because of the meds i am on but here is what i have got to contend with and my progress on the lower hull

 

[Steven000]

Good to see you back on the bench Peter, looks like a complex project with all those parts, have fun, cheers

 

[peterairfix]

finally finished the lower hull
and started the upper hull

 

[Jim R]

Looking good Peter. I suppose it's all a bit wobbly at the moment but as more parts are added it will become more rigid.

 

[flyjoe180]

Excellent start and progress Peter. 1/200 aircraft, that's tiny. Good thing they are already coloured

 

[Ian M]

Glad to see this on the beddings. You are a braver man than I Gunga Din.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

 

[peterairfix]

Actually its very stable

 

[papa 695]

Nice work so far Peter

 

[john hutton]

Peter,
Looking great so far . Looking forward to more updates, this is fascinating to watch.

 

[peterairfix]
