Hi Kev, I think they need glazing, but not decided what I will use to do it with yet. Maybe PVA, maybe acrylic gloss varnish. What would you suggest?
These will be fitted later when I return to the cockpit - I will get the major construction out of the way next. Today I built the sponsons - if anyone else builds this kit be aware that the numbering of the gun bay floors is wrong. Mine fitted with a bit of adjustment, and fortunately I didn't want them open anyway, so a couple of gaps was no problem. I didn't want the crew compartment open either - not very interesting and I have no good references.
To make sure the wings are straight and strong I am using a box section brass spar that I purchased at our show, so far I have measured and tacked it in place with superglue.
Anyway see photo for todays progress. I've also included an internal shot showing the cargo compartment - apparently 5 paratroops could squeeze in there. Also in that photo you can just make out the kit supplied white metal noseweight under the rear cockpit.
Cheers for now
