      Last pictures of the inside before sewing up and it's a bit of a squeeze to get it all in but I does need a bit of filler here and there.Click image for larger version

              Next up is the centre wing section not much to it so finished quickly don't worry about the paint as it will get another coat before assembly.Click image for larger version

                        More work done I intend to have some of the access panels open so I have added the ammo boxes and the last part to complete the internal wing structure.Click image for larger version

                          This looks a lot of fun!

                          What’s the part count on this?

                            HI Peter will there be a hatch that will open so that all this detail can be seen as the machine guns with their ammo looks great but I was just wondering how many builds do you have on the go at the moment ? as im getting a bit mixed up wondering which of your builds I last looked at to follow

                                Two aircraft the Mossie has a broken undercarriage that I can't fix and the typhoon has fit issues.
                                And the boats are long term projects.
