    In the shed looking for some plaster board fittings and decided to start the belts, 2 bits of etch stuck to this bit of etch and a third to follow........

          Belts installed, hairy stick work done, fuselage zipped together. Just a little twist needed to get it all lined up and minimal work needed on the seam line. Got to love Tamiya engineering, very little challenging from them. Click image for larger version

                Top work old chap. Talk about eye problems, I thought that bit of harness was hovering in thin air. Mind you, these glasses are a bit out of date.

                    Tamiya fit is awesome. Look at that wing root, tighter than a Scotsman with 50p.

                        Wow , that's some detail in the office Karl .
                        Hope the eye continues to improve, we take thing for granted when they are ok health wise.

                          This is it for this week, away again at stupid o'clock tomorrow morning for another 6 day week.....so have to do family stuff today, I might get a chance later to mask and install the glazing, then I'll be ready for paint. Wheel bays are painted.

                              Home again, and home for at least a week so hope to get some progress on this.
                              Spent a morning of procrastination rather than actually doing anything but glazed, primed, and got two colours down, the white at the nose and the Medium Sea Grey undersurfaces.
                              Now making bacon butties.
