Hence the title of this thread
So, 2 hours in and I'm not quite as far as I'd planned. Some rudimentary sidewall detail was added:
And a section of drinking straw, plugged with black plasticine, was glued into the jet intake to prevent see-through (thanks to Titan's thread for reminding me of the need for that).
To prevent see through at the back these
spurious highly accurate and authentic vents were added.
Unfortunately when it came to attaching Ludwig to the pilot's seat I realized that he was too wide due to the thickness of the fuselage sides. I could either a) saw his arms off, b) remove copious amounts of plastic from the sidewalls with a Dremel, including my added detail or c) leave him out. I chose the latter as the easiest option, although that does mean I'll have to build the trolley now.
State of play at 16:35. Fuselage is together although I plan to install an instrument panel and rear bulkhead. Wing halves are also ready to glue together.
How can my workbench get this messy, this fast?
