some Fun, some Not So Fun!!!!!!!!!
First......... FITS, yes I had one, okay I had 5!!!!!
I had to use FLAMES to get the port side to align!!!
This drive shaft is Supposed to align Straight thru,
and it don't! The end of the shaft didn't even fit.
I filed and sanded and filed and... I gave up, can't see it!
The arse end just looked incomplete,
so I added bulkheads...... looks a bit better.
Painted without schnozzle in place.
Downhill from here.................... I hope!

I see you bought the kitty hawk so you could scratch build the plane! Will there be any of the original kit in the finished build? Very Very nice work.

It was one of their First kits, they sure learned a lot!!!!!
This is Not the end of Fits!!!!!!!!!
For instance. How does this move up n down?
Cut, file and sand!!!!!!!!
You can also see the gap in the rudder, Both.
File, sand fit!
The elevator has a tab....... a too f'n Big tab.
So in the end I removed the offending TAB.
Of course I had to re-glue the Splits. I tell yah.
Now I know why all the Youtube builds were abandoned!!!!
