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.
Cheers,
Kevin

That's a serious amount of modifying, good luck.

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

Good and detailed Chris

Lots of glazing!

This one is 'clearly' going to be an impressive model........(Sorry, couldn't resist)

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

Looking good

Bigkev · March 11, 2024, 05:20:37 PM

That is some nice work.
Will look good.

Fuselage test fit.

Bigkev · March 12, 2024, 06:24:39 PM

All seems to be lining up nicely.

Fuselage now together with nose.

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