Hi Derek,

Very nice work neat too, It does take a lot of patience to complete the wing and there are some tricky parts to come such as the undercarriage posts and wing housing.

Well done

Cracking work Derek. That is some size model.

Hi All,

Gone off line with this a bit as per the instructions order.

Taken a break from the plating, (finger and wrist tendons need a break) and moved onto the wood strips on the fuselage to shape up for the plates on the fuselage.

Haven't pictured it step by step, but have a full pic of each side.

Now have lots of gentle sanding to do, so I can get the best possible shape on the fuselage ready for plating.

Even at this point the jury is still out as to whether this will finish up in Camo or steal finish. That`s still down to how the overall plating etc goes. If there`s lots of gaps and filling is required then it`s Camo finish, no/minimal gaps then it could still be steal finish. My preference is the steal finish, but only time will tell.

Attached are two pics of the fuselage with the added strip wood.

Happy modelling and take care.

Nice work Derek, steal finish is what I would do as well, just love the look of this model.
