Thank you very much guys  :)

Okay I didn't get her finished after all , weather was nice so it was time to bring the mountain bike out and go for a ride !  :)

I did get the top wing mounted with the lading gear and a few more pin washes here and there . This all needs to get sealed for round two on the weathering . With a shiny surface pastels won't adhere so it will get a coat of flat .

I'm loving it! What a gorgeous plane.

I can learn something from your speed of building.

Thank you so much guys !

However , the only thing I did yesterday was spray an semi matt finish for the pastels to stick to . Other then that I had no bench time in . Weather was excellent so I adventure outdoors and started yard work ! Tore down a fence and cut down 7 trees ....I'm really sore today ! I might get time in today , weather is crap with rain coming ...so If I can lift my arms .....

I have not dropped by for a few days and this has gone from pre-painting to nearly finished! I too like the earlier crosses on this machine - different from the more usual representations as already mentioned. It looks super Alexis - and I am looking forward to seeing the completed model.

I too come home twice a week knackered with after effects the following day as I am involved with a nature conservation group - great when the weather is fine and sunny/warm - just that the after effects remind me that I am not as young as I like to think and cut into irreplaceable modelling time!!!

Thanks Dave and Stephen for the encouraging comments  :)

Well I didn't get it finished like I was hoping today. Hard time trying to move my arms ! but I did finish round two of the weathering and sealing coat . Tail skid is now in place with the wing tip skids joining in that as well . The wing tip skids aren't from the kit . Kit ones where broken so these are from the parts bin which came from a trashed Dragon Dr.1 that Blau broke when he was kitten . I totally forgot to drill rigging holes for the landing gear legs so mod PE parts from the bin solved that problem . Only thing that is left to finish is the tail section and this kit is finished !
