OK, slow start as I didn't get as far last night as expected.
Two immediate thoughts, one is how hard it is to find the bits I want. I wish all sprues were coded with a letter or that they would at least follow a numerical order for the parts on each sprue.... Two, the odd plastic does not respond well to Humbrol Liquid Poly, takes ages to set which is going to be a bind knowing the fit issues.
However, I must be in for trouble later because so far the fuselage dry fits like a dream, seriously, no real problems at all.
The gap between the headrest and the support that Steve pointed out is certainly there and if Steve had not mentioned it, I would have ignored it. However, a simple job to correct.
All the bulkheads are dry fitted except for one side of the rear seat mounting bulkhead which has been tack cemented in to keep it in place while lining up the others. They all fit in with no issues at all.
This is the worst bit of the lower fuselage joint as it stands unglued and just held with tape. It will line up perfectly when cemented as will the upper seam which lines up nicely without glue.
This presumably means I have loads of problems stacking up for later. I really do hope not as it does look a nice aircraft and this is my first 1:32 aircraft kit (don't tell Dave (Gern) as I said I would never go over to his favoured scale lol)
