Thanks for looking in - and a special thanks to KiwiZac, Rick, Ken, Frank (fantastic progress on your Camel!), Dave, Alexis, PrzemoL, Manni and Marc for your comments and support!
Covid variant Omicron is running wild in Sweden at the moment (luckily with limited effects on life and health so far), so no build meeting last Saturday and with hindsight I would have had a difficult time to finish this build until that meeting anyway. It's still not quite finished, but getting there...
You know that feeling when everything you've prepared just falls into place?! Well, if there is a kit where this could happen, this is it! This is a fantastic kit that you can't go wrong with - unless you try to be clever and add details that later on clash with Eduard's perfectly sound instructions...
One part which really wows is the top deck. Over in his Camel thread Frank mentions that is just clicks into place and it sure does.
If you remember from earlier on, I added a bit of PC in order to run the control lines through. Good idea, but it did obstruct the sturdy rear locating pins that ensure the wing attaches properly. It's been sorted using a pair of brass pins and superglue. Rigging has been started as well.
Top deck and engine cowl in place but no glue used in this picture. The next pic shows both installed properly and with the machine guns in place as well. And then the bottom wing have been added.
Top wing added and it looks all lined up to my eye. Not the simplest of tasks even with this model, but not difficult either.
Main rigging completed and now it’s just control cables for ailerons, elevators and rudder left…
Take care!
