Paul thanks for the vote of confidence .I must admit I'm a bit out of my comfort zone but your words of encouragement sure help thanks!
Allyne hope I do'nt dissapoint ya
I started with the office as usual but the vac parts are a new twist for sure. The replacement nose is of course vac formed so some care and a fresh blade were a must

Test fitting and retest fitting sanding here and there to get a good fit

The Koster kit requires cutting a part of the fuse away,seems to me it could've been left the other way around but that would have left off the spent shell ejector ports in the vacum formed part so I do get why they did it that way.


The Koster conversion would have you glue the nose halves on to the fuselage at this point ,however I prefer joining the nose halves then adding the assembly later to assure better alignment of the panel line details. I also added tabs for a better glue joint

The Port side office detail is completely replaced by the Koster kit ,the only trouble here was getting the vac formed part to fit the contour of the interior. I used lots of clamps and ca and was able to coax it into place

both interior halves ready for paint,nose cones are just taped in place

Fantastic stuff trey, its really great seeing the conversion from start to finish, its going to be great! cheers tony

Thanks Tony ,Allyne thanks and so far its not been too hateful (knock on wood)
The office is painted and except for the seats ready to go,still waiting for some a/m seatbelts to arrive so I'm going to skip ahead and tackle the much dreaded engine nacelles
