Outstanding work so far Ken, your scratch building skills are second to none. The fuselage frame is excellent and is so neat and precise, amd the engine sits in the engine bay beautifully, all due to your perfect engineering of the model. It's always a nice feeling when the wings slip into place and are self supporting, I found that making the wing mountings to be a very crucial part of my scratch builds. I love your vac form work, you have this process down pat and produce wonderful parts, keep up the good work Ken and I look forward to the next step in your build.

Just let me know if you want me to move your build to the scratch build board, GB's can be a little demanding on your time and also adds pressure to the build.

Thanks for the compliments Des, much appreciated .... no pressure at all .... you can move it on over as soon as the GB ends....

Getting the brass tubes just right inside the fuselage was tricky ..... the steel wire which will be bent to the correct dihedral will be set into the lower wings (at least this is the plan now) .......... keeping fingers crossed ....... trying to figure out what type of socket I will use for the undercarriage and the center section struts ..... The undercarriage will be pretty easy as the wooden floor will cover any trace of the brass tube ....

So glad to see you back on this one, Ken.  The parts fit seems flawless and the louvers are awesome.
