As my last one got left for to and parts have gone walkabout so it's time to start a new one and as I know what I am in for it shouldn't be that scary.
So here's the contents of the box.

Peter,
That should keep you out of mischief for a while. I will pull up a chair and follow along.

Hi Peter
That is a lot of plastic. As Scottie says it will keep you busy for quite a while.

After what seemed an age of cleaning mould seems I have finished off the first page of construction .
And here's the result.

 

[Dave W]

Looking good Peter. I’ve been building one of these on and off for the past year or so. It was all going well until I came to fit the engine cowlings. Gaps galore. Hopefully I will finish it soon.Look forward to seeing yours come together.

 

[Ian M]

Try not to lose this one

 

[peterairfix]

Here's some more work done this takes me to the bottom of page two.
And I have had ago at the pilot.

 

[John Cole]

Wow! A lot to put together. Hope it all aligns accurate to not cause problems. Looking really good and pilot is together. Going to have to follow this

Despite being a bit busy i have managed to get some more parts painted.

Peter,
Coming on nicely.

Everything lines up really well if you take your time with it. The only bad fitting parts are the upper engine cowlings.Not a problem if you want the engine on display

Thanks Dave, be good to follow Peters progress and indeed look at the engine cowling . Just wonder why everything lines up but an issue with the cowling.

I thought it was something I had done wrong. But even Barry W had problems with his

 

[peterairfix]

I have got the IP done and all those parts and the pilot.

 

[Vaughan]

Great work Peter.

 

[AlanG]

Bit late to the action but here now. Looking good so far Peter

 

[peterairfix]

Now it's time for the engine I have installed it and started to put all the bits and pieces around it as I intend to have it with engine covers off.

 

[scottie3158]

Looking good so far.

Hi Peter
Looks great so far. Love the detail on these larger scale planes. Glad everything is lined up OK as some of the early photos looked rather awkward to get all nice and square.
