I thought I had commented earlier but obviously I was wrong. The struts and spreader are looking great. Engine and cowling are Fantastic!

Thanks Rick ,

But I'm having troubles getting the plastic to bond to the white metal , but I will get it figured out . Will have another up-date shortly .

It took me forever to get the ribs to bond with the cowling when I built it. Just chalked it up to my eternal struggle with super glue.

Hello Brian ,

Your cowl turned out really nice with the added ribs . I feel this is a detail which could have been molded in but one can't be picky I guess . Thanks for sharing your build again .

Made a bit of progress on the undercarriage legs which I still need include the mounting pins . Next step in getting it put together .

Past few days go by ending in the landing gear legs and axle being put together . Leaving just the PE parts for the fuselage being left then it's off to painting and decaling !

You made a nice progress on this one!
The undercarriage and the cowlings looks great.
I would like to add this bird to my stash, if I can find one.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Marc

PE parts are in place and ready for primer . I did have to move the location holes on the front of the fuselage struts . The placement points on the kit parts are not correct , but this is do to the shape of the nose which isn't correct . Totally forgot about the cab struts and these will get re-pinned to match the locations in the top wing . Either way , I'm ready for priming and painting

Note all the air bubbles which needed filling , this was done with really thick super glue , sanded and polished to shape .
