And now for something completely different

What girl doesn't like Cosmo? No not that kind; get your minds out of the gutter and put the magazine back on the rack. This kind:

This is the 1/72 Welsh/Proteus Canadair Cosmopolitan, with two different RCAF schemes.
Inside the box you find a bag of resin, some white metal detail parts and a vac fuselage.

And typically basic Welsh style instruction sheets

That does look interesting, you have my attention madam! The Canadian forces can always be relied upon to come up with something that looks cool.

I return to the Cosmo. I've sanded out the fuselage, and opened up the cockpit roof for the clear part to be added later. The bulkheads are positioned inside the right fuselage half. and the civvy entry door at the rear sanded off.

The cockpit interior is very basic, but then not very much is going to be visible once it's all buttoned up.

Those bulkheads are going to need a little work before they're small enough for the fuselage to close properly

The fit of the engines to the wing is less than encouraging. I know that resin shrinks, but this is ridiculous. I will need to take out shares in Milliput for this.

The wings butt-join together, then the fuselage sits on top of them. It will be a pretty solid construction when all is glued.
