This Build continues at a snails pace, however I have made some headway despite the many interruptions.
The landing gear has been assembled, installed, and rigged:
I also added the Cooper Bomb Rack and sprayed/splattered castor oil to the undersides:
Next came the turtle deck and upper forward cowlings. The two previously broken cabanes and a third which followed during gear installation were drilled, pinned, and carefully installed using CA. The twin Vickers and the Aldis Sight followed:
As you can see in these shots the brackets from the firewall to the ring cowling have fallen victim to careless fumble fingers and will need replacing!
The prop is "posed" for this photo:
........ and last the cabanes were rigged using Modelkasten elastic thread:
Now it's time to finish up some oil and weathering to the forward fuselage and the installation of the upper wing can be started after some pre-rigging work.
Slow but steady will hopefully win this race!
Cheers,
Lance
