Thanks a lot for all the nice comments regarding this build. THey are greatly apreciated!
I've done a bit more over the week-end.
First I made the new wing spars match the fuselage a bit better and altered the attachment points of the wings on the fuselage.
Here are the new longer wing spars and a pic with the wings attached to them. The dry fit is perfect. I strongly suggest to make a set of these wing spars should you ever tackle this kit.
I also glued some tabs in the fuselage, which will be a great help in lining out the rather long fuselage once it's glued. THis will greatly reduce the risk of misalignment and unecesary sanding and rescribing details afterwards.
And a close up of the mid fuselage gunner's emplacement. Not a lot of it will be seen. So need need to detail this compartment. The Eduard set has plenty of detail for the turret itself, which will be more then sufficient imho.
And last I finally managed to get the the cockpit floor in the correct position. I had to sand down one of the horizontal tabs that hold the the radio bulkhead in the fuselage. This is most likely due to a builders error as I think the actual cockpot floor is too long and I altered it.
As I was a bit worried about the "black hole" under the floor, i added a simple solution. I'm pretty sure it must have looked differently on the actual aircraft, but I think it looks ok. (anyway a lot better then nothing)
And in situ and painted, dry fitted in the fuselage.
I hope to close up the fuselage in the comming days and add the wings and tail turret. I'm sure there will some work sanding the fuselage and adding the clear parts as I read from other builds that these parts are tricky as well.
