Looking forward to this! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZ Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hi Jes, I have quite an interest in this kit, and would like to see how it builds up. Cheers Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touvdal Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Some futher progress on the kit. The fuselage comes in 3 peices so care has to be taken when it is assebled, I started with the sides and let them dry before attaching the underside. taped it good to keep things in place. Here after removal of tape, and attached upper wing struts let to dry I think that airfix has done a good job figuring out how to make the wing assemly easy and solid cheers Jes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touvdal Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Put on the wings, actually quit easy due to the way airfix have made the kit. cheers Jes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
