Cheers Gordon, welcome on board.

Well, this is kind of a side project. I have started it right away, but I am only doing a few bits n pieces then and now when I have to leave other projects alone. Today I took a few pictures so I have them for my build report on my website. Thus I started this one here.

So far I have built in the main structures and started with the cockpit. It was airbrushed aircraft grey yesterday. I have also built the wing and I am not sure if I should add some structure on it as it is just a huge plain wing .. otoh I do not have a rivet plan for the plane. The engine does not look bad oob.

Every part has to be carefully cut out of the frames. I am using my trusted Hypercut saw pro-ss 0.1mm. Most of the parts are super fragile, so take your weapon of choice but be careful!
