A great sacrifice of the razor head Wabble , photo proof of your beard will be required .
Oh, by the way Matron was last seen looking for her midge net and far east clothing . Stand by for that slap .:smiling3:

Great attention to detail Richard.

Thanks Guys,
Today I forgot to bring the razor mesh over to the LHS but I progressed a little with some weathering of the interior and painting the seats, exhaust pipes before closing up the halves. Here are some initial piccies...

And then I drilled another hole to make a vent here...


Cheers,
Wabble

Ditto!!

Why use lots of words when one will do?!?!

In all seriousness Richard, having been away, I have just had a catch up. As always simply outstanding work. The razor mesh is brilliant!

Keep up the excellent work!!

Thanks Doug, Scottie, Chris and Andrew, I'll definitely keep up the good work when I can and what a catch up with 14 replies.
After getting home I continued with the build and made this progress...
Painted the cockpit seats.

Glued the fuselage together.

Plugged the vent.

And continued with the rear extended engine bay frame with putty and the first half of the mesh.

Wabble,
Just caught up on your excellent build, plenty of scratchery and scrounging around for bits that will do the job, that's what modelmaking is all about. What's it like shaving without the mesh??? :tired:...
Keep up the good work.
Wibble.

[Jim R]

Really good progress. Excellent extra detailing. The fuselage halves look to have gone together well. Did that take a lot of fettling and dry fitting?

[JR]

Nice update Wabble .
Where's these photos ?:smiling2:

Thanks Jim, on the contrary... I think it's overstating it going together well. :smiling6:

Hi Wobble, just to show what I meant here's how much of a gap I had to fill to be able to fit the canopy...

And after fettling...

And just look at the fillings and steps. Lots of sanding all round the fuselage seams I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Wabble

By photos I meant of your beard now you've taken the mesh out of the razor.
As to the filling that's a neat job.
