Lovely Des!

But you’re doing MY colour scheme! How dare you!  ;D

You’ve also made me realise I’ve missed additional rigging on the struts....  :o

Dangit Des, I wasn't going to buy anymore WNW kits. How am I supposed to do that when you make it look so much fun?

A question. Can the engine cowl be left unglued in order to display the engine?

The engine cowl could be left unglued, it is a nice neat fit so would sit quite comfortably, the only issue would be the machine guns which are a very neat fit into the cowl.

Looking good Des:  As mentioned, nice paint and decal work.  You gotta pay attention to those little photo insets throughout the instructions for decal placement.  That engine and cockpit alignment with all of that stuff there can be a real challenge and you made it through that in good order.  Looking forward to the next update.

The bottom wing is now fitted along with the undercarriage, after removing all traces of paint the wing and undercarriage just fell into place. The wing mounted machine guns are also fitted. The top wing has just been fitted with no glue to show what the model will look like. All of the struts have been painted, I have also painted the bomb rack and the bombs, just waiting for it all to dry

Lookin good Des.  The overall green scheme looks menacing.  The guns on the wing give it an aggressive look.  Looking forward to seeing you wrap this one up.  Outstanding work all around.

Lovely Des,

We seem to be at identical stages.
