All the sub assemblies look good Kevin.

Another detailed model soon to be on show - well done

Quality work Kevin, I'm impressed.

Hi All,
All internals now painted, and last bits of etch added to the cockpit. All items have had a final coat of Matt varnish to protect them.
Hope to get the sub assemblies together and the fuselage buttoned up tomorrow. Once that's done the wings and tail will be added.
Some pictures so far.

Nice seat detail.

A fair amount of detail there Kevin. Nice.

Cockpit components assembled. Note the glazed panels in the bulkhead  can now be seen.
On a trial fit into the fuselage noted that the elevator link rod just wouldn't fit pass the cover in the gunners compartment. So it was cut in two and the rear part glued in place with a spacer behind the rear bulkhead. Where it joined the front part of the link rod would be behind the cover.
Also the tail wheel to be fitted soon, it became apparent that the seam line under the wheel would not be accessible to smooth out/fill. So I cut a small piece of thin plasticard and glued it into place on one side, when joined together it hides this bit nicely.

Coming along nicely, I like the cockpit detail painting, well done.

Hi all,
Quick update. Fuselage now together and engine section attached. Everything went together smoothly but I still found a small gap underneath the front where it meets fuselage despite my best efforts.
So I have added some thin plasticard shims into the gap glued in place. Once dry and hard will trim off excess to reduce amount of filler.
Thanks for looking. 

Wings on. Needs a few Berna clamps to get a tight fit.

That should sort it.
Lots of work to do!

Good progress Kevin. Looking good.

A serious bit of engineering there, have you been taking lessons from MSea? The radiator housing on my Tamiya Il-2 was very fragile and didn't stand up to heavy handling so I had to repair that.

Luckily, this Stormovik is as tough as the real one.
After the clamps have been removed, all that is needed is a smidgen of filler here and there.

Hi All,
Now primed and almost ready for colour. A couple of minor seams along wing underside to 'see to' beforehand.
