This one is on hold for a week or two as my mancave is having a new floor layed down but will get back to it asap.

New floor, lucky guy. Are you getting someone to lay it for you or doing it yourself? The Arado engine looks great too, look forward to more updates soon,

Well mancave all back in place, all work has stoped on the plane at the moment as i have no paints as yet, so i have started on the base.

The subject will be in a marina for an overhaul.

The engine bay will be all open with the prop removed, there will be men working on the engine and in the cockpit.

The white squires on the base are the flotations for the walkways, i have left a gap for the sea wall.

Great idea for the Arado display John.

Looking good John. Just one question the wing on the right appears smaller than the one on the left. They should be both be the same size.

[Guest]

Thank you for your kind comments Vaughan, as for the wings i think the photo was taken at an angle, see new pic.
