Nice start, Jeff. Setting up the halves while doing cockpit and other stuff is indeed a good time saver. :)

What's for breakfast?

Pondering that thought right now. Bagel with cream cheese has taken the lead with of course a strong cuppa.

And about ready to queue up some jams. Maybe another trip down memory lane.

OK breakfast round one. Bagel with colby jack cheese and a cup of Red Rose tea in honor of Andrews contribution to my blitz.

Red rose - good tea choice :)

Are you doing a French NMF example, following the boxart?

Mmmmmmmmmmm, nice looking breakfast Jeff, although I'm more of a coffee enthusiast myself.

So, it's the Mystere then, excellent choice sir. Great start, that's a good idea building up the fuselage halves whilst the other stuff is drying.

I'm no fan of bagels, but I like your mug! I love rose tea.

Breakfast round 1 is completed. Interior painting in progress and things are moving is the right direction. Sorted out some nose weights and thinking ahead some.

Airfarme is pretty much together now.

Masking tape is used for the harnesses.

Overall, I find the fit very nice and it appears minimum cleanup is needed.

The Canadian government will only allow you to listen to Rush, Celine Dion and Neil Young. Justin Bieber has now been banned for being a naughty boy :ha:

Pick us up a four pack of Molson will you. I'll pop round later with the money :ha:

Sorry for the blitz hijack Jeff. You're going great guns on this and it's great to see this Airfix classic coming together.
