      It's a great kit Lee, I did the non-bubble top version a few years ago. I don't recall anything difficult or dodgy about this kit. I did deviate slightly from the instructions by connecting each fuselage half to its respective tail half to make two traditional halves, rather than connecting the tail section to the forward fuselage.

        Thanks Joe for the tip. I also did the bubble top years ago and it was a enjoyable build. Hope I can get started on this weekend on it. I had to get some Farm chore’s out of the way this week so no bench time. Thanks for stopping by.

              Painted the inside of the fuselage today. I took a out side shot because every time I take one on the bench it looks like a beige green. Click image for larger version

                Looking good Lee.
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
