Wow, excellent work. Your attention to detail is admirable. I have one of these and a basic S3 in my 'I'll do them one day, honest!' pile so I'm following your build with interterest

Really interesting build. I did this one some years ago with Paragon folded wings and it came out very well, but you have noticed far more details than i did and have done a far better job than i could have when adding them. Can't wait to see it finished

I just found out something is missing from the radome anyway.. I would never have seen it if i didn't look closely.

Lucky for me I have to make repairs anyway..

Robert, they are both the same size. And both identical.. and that's the problem. I think the squares should face out on both sides. And that's rather impossible if they are identical..

Sleeping on it..

Thanks Red Dot and others for looking!

I felt the same 'gulp' and 'sigh' as I was scrolling down the screen thinking 'how would I fix this' and the relief at the next pic!

As with Rbeach I'm wondering if the same pylon design was fitted to either wing? I've seen that before but I cannot remember which aircraft it was!

Very enjoyable build and I can't wait to see the end result!
