Your detail is magnificent Andy. Great job.

Thanks Chris, my work is always a bit rough around the edges but it should look ok through the canopy.
I have finally got the fuselage halves together, it put up a struggle and I had to "talk" to it but it was no match for "The Councilman".
It will need some filler. 
Thanks all.

Did you have to use gentle persuasion  - like a big hammer - hohoho

[chriswil42]

You certainly took on a big project there Andy.

I'll be coming back to this build for the internal detail when I get around to building my Dambusters Lancaster. Great job Andy.

Its touch and go but I think we can save him...
Some soldering and tidying up to do.
Thanks all.

Hi Andy,
Great stuff.
Did you Morph into an Octopus during the fuselage joining you must have needed four pairs of hands.
Awesome stuff matey.

Well the size of the thing has given me a few problems. The most tricky thing was getting all the bulk heads to sit in the right place, without trapping anything.
No offence to Hong Kong Modell's but this is no shake and bake even without the wiring.
All good fun.

Next job is to tidy up the wiring in the bomb bay. The wires have a tendency to wrap themselves around anything and everything.
The LED wires are only one strand thick so I've been careful not to bend them too much incase they break, I must have tested them a dozen times already.
I'm soldering the wires, with heat shrink sleeves to make sure they're insulated well.
Thanks all.

Looking good Andy. Have you tried using blobs of silicone to attach the wire to bulkheads etc.?

[Red Lancer]

Looks good, and difficult! Way too technical  for me.

[Bob C]

I agree with red lancer far to complicated for me.

Thanks for the tip Chris, I used a hot glue gun. In hind sight I should have installed the wiring before construction started then I could have cut channels into the plastic without other kit parts getting in the way.
I got there in the end.
Thanks all.

All this lot wont fit in the bomb bay so I need to do some re-wiring. 
Good job its all around 3 volts....  Fire Fire!!

It looks good and complicated Andy - don't loose your wiring plan hohoho
