The first, and essential, step with resin is a good washing up to remove mold release agents.

Engine pods....pinholes all around the intakes

Of course its gonna be fun Dirk

fits where it touches eh?

Glad to see you tie your hair back, though worried about the diapers you are wearing

is it the resin dust that does it to you?

I see that Anigrand are consistent in their QA of resin parts - great subject list but sometimes so much work...

Nah....it's old age

Quick and dirty c/g eval. indicated that no extra nose weight will be required.

Much admiration for tackling something like this Barry.

Barry · Post by **Barry** » February 5th, 2012, 9:11 am

Well Bromo...It's just a little filler here, a little sanding there....much like I'm doing with the Airfix Beagle Basset.

Looks a bit more than that Barry.

Oops, Slipped to the bottom of the page. Gotta keep up!

Clear resin windows fit very snugly in place. No trimming necessary, sealed around the edges with super glue.

Passenger seats installed

Cockpit

dry fitting shows a gap...I filled it with a sliver of plastic.

Fuselage glued up and ready for filler all round the seams.

"...A gap".

Just what is it with Anigrand? CMR can do it.

Am I right in thinking this is not a beginners kit?

You guys who work in resin have all my admiration, I have never been brave enough to attempt one (slight lie I started the airwaves skeeter a long time ago but that was only one chunk of resin)

The amount of work and the cost always puts me off.
