I could have added this to the completed thread, but I've a LOT of pics of the build. And no-one said you can't do the WIP stuff first
So, this was three months work, copious amounts of 10, 20 and 30 thou plasticard, a couple of missteps, a LOT of careful planning and doing things in the wrong order, but overall, I'm very pleased with the result. And it's not like anyone is going to kit this beast any time soon
And if they do, I can always convert it to an Andover transport
Starting off, sketches drawn from online pics, specifically Rex's Hanger Aldershot feature on Youtube. At the time, back in April, I didn't have a means to capture and print pics. Next there's the 'how to go about each piece.' This is the final layout, as I kept adding new stuff as I went
And this is where we start with the two main fuselage sides and the base (with 'main spar') already attached
Now, if I can only get the rest of the photos uploaded and accessible...
