Started this before the last playday. It's a conversion of the old Aurora kit which considering its age the mouldings are pretty good.

This is going to be an eye catcher on the club table once done.
Looking forward to seeing it progress.

I made an Aurora kit once, can't remember what is though as it was around 60yrs ago!!!

Cockpit mounted in fuselage.  Sponsons modified.

Looks like really hard plastic, like the old FROG models.

Undercarriage and sponsons on.
Yes Andy the plastic is a little on the hard side.

Forgit to add the photo.

A big beast! Looks like you needed to do some work on the fuselage seam.
Coming along nicely.

Now for the glazing for the cockpit.
There were two parts missing while some of the other parts were duplicated.
For the missing parts I've managed to fashion some parts from the spares box. Not perfect but reasonable. Now to clean it all up a bit before attachment to the fuselage.

Some proper modelling.

It's a good job we're hoarders as you never know when something will come in handy.

Just about ready for the white primer.

Looks impressive.

Very nice work Chris.
