Re: Greg's. 'NEVER be afraid to try something stupid' build
Hi Guys.
I've just got in after a swine of a day and I only have two hours left of build time to complete this so I doubt very much I'll get it sorted in time in any sort of decent state. What scuppered me was having to a/ go look at a house (we are going to move as soon as we find somewhere suitable) and b/ also having quite a few other things crop up didn't help. I'll see what I can do but I'll have to call this a DNF I'm afraid. Sorry folks.
A little about the build for reference though. Positioning of the windows left a small gap in the middle and I recommend put the two cockpit glazing halves in place and leave to set before closing the fuselage, the same goes for the nose wheel doors if they are to be closed. The lower front joint on the wing centre section leaves a step, especially on the port side leading edge and this needs filler, as does the top wing fuselage joint, Anthracite grey is a good paint for the tile area as pure black somehow looks wrong. Positioning of the pipes on the external tank takes some working out and reference to the corresponding locating holes on the fuselage is a must. Hope this helps.
All the best.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

So sorry to hear that Greg. But I DO think housing is a priority. Maybe try again before the month is out.

I'll definitely go for another build before the month end.
All the best.
