There's a reason that the closeup photos aren't there! A few places are a little bit dodgy.

Now gluing onto a CD base.

Starboard landing wheel is floppy, hence the wing is propped up.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Thanks! Here it is now the glue has dried. The spinner is also in place.

A couple of touch-ups and maybe some varnish needed here and there.

Super kit. Just needs seat belts. Watch the decals, they are prone to curling and folding.

An unusual subject, and I wish Hobbyboss would do a few more. But not moulded in clear plastic.

Cheers
