I have put the seats & interior in and weathered things a bit - hundreds of grubby students can make a mess of anything.
The engine was a bit tricky to fit but went in ok once I ignored the instructions. One half of the cowling is deeper than the other!
Do you think I should trim to match or build up the short one?
There is a big lump on the parcel shelf & I think its the wrong colour. I could not figure out whether the interior should be green or black
so it’s got a mixture of both. I sanded the shelf & painted it black.
I still need to paint a couple of black boxes & add some seat belts, Tamiya tape variety but it all fits pretty well.
Also need to add the metal frame work that goes in there somewhere.
The wings went together without any fuss. I am a happy chap today.
A dry fit of the wings to fuselage looks pretty good too.
So next up sand the fuselage seam line & mask the canopy. Lots of frame lines but at least they are straight lines.
I have decided to do this one in-flight so I need to rummage through the spares box for at least one pilot figure.
I will have a go at making a prop blur too.
Ambitious stuff going on here.
- but thanks for pointing out that the cowling halves are slightly different depths, I'll keep an eye out for that as I put it together
