Ridibunda Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just finished yesterday ribbing in tail section. 3 hours spent for 6 ribs due to limited space for fingers and specific form of fuselage there. Next step will be the placing of cargo cabin floor... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 3rd Placer Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The internal work looks really good, I have the same kit...wish I had the newer boxing with the blue decals, my boxing has the older gaudy color scheme. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Unusual kit. Really enjoying this build. Can't beat a bit of scratch building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridibunda Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Short update on progress... Tried to fit upper part of fuselage with lower one. One clumsy motion and upper part is cracked along seam for 1/3 of length ((( Glued back. Will come back to that later... Cargo cabin floor is put on place. Slits are filled with putty. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
