All,
This little guy is moving along and going quite smoothly.
I modified the cockpit openings to look more like the correct shapes...though the nose section should be more of a round opening (I think) but I'll leave that one "as is". The tails and struts went on easily, the fuselage closed and I cut the lower wing apart at the dihedral joint so I can put it together in sections like the real one. I also put a nice brass tube through the lower wing and fuselage making this all very strong. Various struts have also started to be added.
I'll start working on getting the cabanes in position or at least mocked up a bit and then do the interior. The cockpit openings are so large, the interior will be quite easy to finish even with the fuselage sides together. This will also make it easier to add pieces since the finished dimensions will be easier to match.
Really a fun build and starting to take shape!
Cheers,
Dan
