This Friday's update. Had a bit more time on the model this week but while 6 sessions, still only about 7 hours mostly late evenings.
I have been working on constructing the wing assemblies, still more to do:
And - the tail assembly, I should really have held off cementing that in place a bit longer but impatience won out - not a good thing that in model building!!!
Here are a couple of shots of the cockpit as it looks now. This kit's engineering is far from the best and the fit around the cockpit is not great. I have had a fair bit of filling in place and eliminating a 'shelf' by building up layers of filler. Lots of sanding done this week!!
Here is where my attention turns next - the underside and the gondola area with a lot of canopy to fix in place. I am expecting a few fit issues here too.
Finally to give you a real idea of the size, here is a test fit of the wings holding the model in my fist and I do not have small hands!!!
