    Well that kinda defeats the object of a group build. Or any build thread for that matter. Surely if the question is directly related to the build and not a general question, the best place to ask is within the build.

                    As Tim says progress is progress. Primer stage is a nice step forward.

                          Thanks Dave, he appears to be ok , says his neck hurts a bit.

                          Managed to assemble the wings onto the body. Not so sure about these wheels .

                            Ah but you're already an expert at them so what's that they say - "A change is as good as a rest"

                              Well it looks like a Mosquito to me John
                              Started mine this week....planes sure are frustrating at times !!
                              I like your aircrew sat in there by the way,they do look good
                              Looking forward to your next update.

                                It's definitely a Mossie John!! And so what if one wheel is bit wonky!!

                                It's good to see you having a go at something different!

                                Keep up the great work.
