Looks good Neil, there is a fair amount of detail in there already. As you say the crew will hide most of it.

Hi all. Managed to get quite a bit done. You're right Ian, it's a lovely kit with lots of little detail on it.


A couple of points I've found though. I really don't like 3 piece fuselages, I just can't seem to get on with them.


And this kit doesn't allow you to assemble the airframe with just the lower wings attached, which is a bit of a problem for painting. So I'm going to try doing it with the upper and lower wings assembled, paint both them and the fuselage, then complete.


That's the plan, anyway.....

Good progress Neil,


I built the float version sometime ago and certainly agree it's a great kit to build.
