Thanks Gary  :)

I have waited awhile for this stage and man , it feels good to have the wings finally mounted . Had a mishap long the way and it was my own doing - should have known better . But I snap the top of the front part of the strut and one rear on the left side , cracked the join on the rad  ::) I had issues with the pins and instead of re-drilling the holes I in my own wisdom applied force . Not good results I tell ya . But that is now repaired set aside to fully cure over night . Then I can move on to the struts . The MG has it's first coat for the base , Tamiya flat black .

Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs.....
Works sorta the same with struts and mounting top wings.

That really looks good Terri, you have done outstanding work on this model

Looks great, Terri!  Modeling is fraught with perils.

Mishap overcome very nicely. It's looking great Terri, I have to keep reminding myself that you model in 1/48. All those varieties of tone in your wood effect make it look like it must be 1/32.

Thanks guys , you are all great inspirations and it keeps me going  :)

Well SP , I hope that no more " broken " eggs will happen ...knock on wood  :o

Richie , I do build in 32 scale and have a few in the stash waiting for paint , glue , details and lots of swear words ! ;)

They sure are Ken , even better now that the struts are in place !  :)

The kit struts are to short , glad I left the pins on the long side . Each struts pins are trimmed to fit so the top wing sits levelled and it was successful . I will let this dry for a day before I finish off the rigging .

Very nice, such triple-V struts are not seen often.
The colors are beautiful, after all parts are coming together.

Cheers,
Frank
