While waiting for the glue and stuff to harden up more on my replacement strut for the rumpler . I start finishing off the engines and got the wings together and the props assembled . The wings are a pretty good fit except for the under side , but not much filling compared to other builds I see online of this kit . Not much of the engine detail can be seen so I didn't spend a lot of time detail painting them . They got some really nice detail !

Thank-you both for the comments  8) I didn't make much progress today , but the wing rads are done and the wheels are painted while making a start on the weathering on the landing gears legs . No pic's , things are drying at the moment .

I have made progress with filling a few spots and finally got the canopy parts dip in future so I can start masking it up . Bit more sanding then it's off to primer . No pic's of yet . Watching putting dry is very boring !

Well, this one's coming together nicely.  Looks like a well detailed kit.

Hello Ken , it is a very well detail kit . So far it is out of the box . Only thing I added was the paint and clue .

I have see this kit built online in other forums and a few reviews and the one major complaint about this kit is the canopy . It is a multi piece affair with fit issues . Well I didn't want to follow everyone else's build by following the kit instructions just so I have something to complain about later to fit in with said group .

I glued the right side on the canopy in place first . Waited for that dry and did the left side . After a few minutes I then glued the rear center section in place made a few adjustments holding it in place for the rest of the glue to dry . I will let this dry for a few days before I move on to the other canopy parts . So far it is a perfect fit , even test fitted the other parts . Everything is nice a tight !
