    Coming on nicely, how have you found it so far? Anny obvious issues come to light already? You really couldn't have timed this better from my perspective.

    All the best.

          Got the fuselage sewn up no dramas but the main canopy to quite a few attempts to get right and with this type of build I find it easier to paint the body without the wings in place the masking for the main canopy took nearly an hour. Click image for larger version

              That's coming on really quickly Pete - but an hour for the main canopy.....I have been warned!!

                Peter, you won't have any either. It's a superb kit to put together.....

                Yours is looking good.

                One thing I noticed, I'm glad I paint my canopies freehand. I have neither the skill nor patience to do such an exercise as masking, so top marks to you. :thumb2:

                    Hi Pete

                    Really like your idea of doing wings and fuselage separately, it must make it much more manageable.

                    However, do you find any problems with the glue damaging the paint when you put it together?

                    Also what do you do about seam/joint problems?

                    Thanks.

                    Andrew

                      I don't think I will have that problem due to the way they are fitted I will explain when I get there.

                            Really nice. Interested to see how the wings look once fitted.

                                That does look good Peter. Hope the wings go on OK.
