Started this at the playday yesterday. I think there is quite a bit of work involved here.

Cockpit done with new brass consoles.
Main fuselage halves modified ready to accept the larger sponsons and the new window strips from the conversion kit.
There's quite a bit of glazing to be done - 28 windows - should be fun.

Looks good Chris.
All that glazing will keep you busy.

The new window strips fully glazed (29) after first painting the insides of the winows white. A bit of cleaning up to do now.

Fuselage modifications done. Some filling and clean-up to be done.
It has gone together better than expected so far.

I like the idea of clear section noses as it makes the windows integral and they don't appear as an after thought.
