So glad to see you back on this one, Dave!  Even unrigged, she's spectacular.  Looking forward to the finished product.
You make a jig?  I'll have to get one.
Cheers,
Bud

Kiwi Resin -
I've just read through this thread for the first time and as someone else coming to terms with another Hobby Craft model I'd just like to say what a stunning approach you've made and despite your set back on the struts what a great result so far you've achieved. I particularly like what you've done with the differing paint finishes - the whole thing looks terrific.

Looking forwards to more updates

    Nice to see this one back "in the lights", Dave. You are doing a fine job on a difficult Kit, great paint work and the rigging will really bring it all together. Your comments on the wing alignment and the need for a jig don't surprise me at all, these Kits can be a real "bear" when it comes to final assembly!
Cheers,
Lance
