Have the engine cleaned the seams and will of Taurus models use spark plugs. To the magnet I have spark plug wire attached.
The hull I continued sanded down. Introduced rear Putty for the tail skid and adjusted and glued down two new plastic plates.
The front the inner diameter of the engine is increased.

I have been very slow here, or you have been very fast! This is another of your interesting and very well done conversions - I enjoy watching others tackle these as there is so much to learn. The work so far is just first class - this will be a real show stopper.

Yesterday and today I have filled in the body and have sanded.
The headrest smaler smoothed and glued.
Front body area further conformistly and bonnet as well as sides form parts stuck on. If these are dry they are further stuck together.
The lower wing was saw in three parts and both cut and sanded to correct size.
The ignition system was further improved and varnished. It is stuck later on the inside of the bonnet. The air-screw impulse goes by them through and remains movable.
The engine was provided with spark plugs, cable and pestle poles and was painted.

The ignition system is changed. The magnets are put on 0. 2 mm plasticcard and are sharpened whole even more thinly, so that the whole fits under the front cover.
Tail skid glue inside.
The front body part ready with the form parts glue together, fills in and sanded. Now the engine fits well in and can be turned. Now fits the fuselage form.
Additional engine end sawed out and with the other sticks together.
Rudder andl tailplane unit with pulled plastic threads to the rib representation closes.  8)
