Anyway I?m now able to spend a bit of time most evenings doing something. My build strategy is always chaotic so I often end up correcting or adjusting as I go.
As you can see I now have the general construction under way and was quite pleased until I put the planks on the wall and checked the scale of them against a 1/72 scale figure. Far too wide, so I had to score each one in situ to make them half as wide. This also means I can take a few off as per my reference picture and it will look more to scale. I will be setting this into a larger piece of ground work so the base will be flush with the floor but that?s some way off yet.

The small intakes which go on each engine had blank faces so these have been drilled to give some detail.
Whilst waiting for sections of the 138 to dry etc. I started work on the Heinkel He 115. This is the 2012 Revell release of the original 1975 Matchbox moulding with an attempt to remove some of that info from one of the fuselage halves. The instructions are more up-to-date as are the decals. As the interior has next to no detail, a floor and two seats, I turned to the spares box and have used the resin parts from the cockpit of Kawasaki Ki-45 Kai 'Toryu'. Ok it's not accurate but it's better than a gapeing void. Other parts will also come from spares and bulkheads and floors from plastic card.
