Started this at the playday. Progressing slowly - most of the cockpit assembled. This is going to take a while - it's a big beast.

Looking forward to seeing this build. It's an AModel kit so you must enjoy a challenge and make sure you have plenty of valium, lol!!!!

The plastic on this one is much imroved. It was quite soft in the smaller kits.

Nice work so far.
Seeing the parts at the Playday, this going to be a beast when finished.
You'll need a table alone just for it.

I hope my next is always better

Some sub-assemblies completed before fitting to the fuselage halves.

Main fuselage halves assembled with the cockpit.

Definitely looks like it's going to be big when finished. The recessed windows look like they'll be fun to mask.

Main forward fuselage just about together. It's proved to be a little dificult to keep all the respective parts aligned durung assembly.

Looks like this one needs a lot of persuasion.

A 14 pond lump hammer usually sorts out any problems that need a little persuasion - hohohhoho - engineers rule -  ::) ::) ::) ::)

This took about half a dozen attempts to align and match the rear part of the fuselage. At least it's done now so that I can make a little more progress.
