Hi All,
Just an update.
Have now got engine in place and cowling front faired in successfully.
The undercarriage legs have had the landing lights installed in the upper portion of the legs themselves, with a reflective lens glued behind the glazing, and then the plastic polished to restore clarity. In addition some brass wire was glued into holes drilled into the legs to give more strength to the wing join later in the build.
Similarly, the wingtip navigation lights installed, each being drilled out from the reverse, paint applied (green starboard, and red to port) these clear parts were then super glued in place and when dry shaped and polished to restore clarity.
The cockpit canopy was test fitted, together with the undercarriage, to see how it all lined up. The canopy needs some adjusting, and I may mould my own opening section of the canopy so it can fit over the rear section.
As can be seen a dry fit with all the above in place. Next will be priming of the airframe.
Thanks,
Kevin
