That sequence of photos posted by Wojtek are actually stills from a video. I tried to find the full sequence but only found one that was a couple of seconds long and did not get to the tail.
Lovely work so far Vic!

Thanks for all the help guy, you really are an amazing bunch of people.
Made some headway today and managed to sew up the two halves. Not much in the way of problems though it was a bit of a squeeze getting all that extra equipment into the cockpit.
I have to say that my little knobs look pretty damn good in this next shot.
Because I want to use a real looking brass gun in the wing, I had to run a bit roughshod over a part of the kit, but you guys aren't going to see this once she is all closed up.
That's it from me today folks, its been as wet as hell here all day and its still chucking it down.

Not only will we not see what you did on the guns, we'll forget that you even did anything! Great looking pit and those stout wing spars should keep things properly lined up.
Nice work so far Vic!

Thanks you Guys, your all perfect Gentlemen.
Checking some minor detail on this kit and would you believe the wing nav lights have been completely forgotten. I also then checked the tail nav light and had I blinked I recon I would have missed it. So a bit of improvisation was required.
The pimple on a pumpkin tail light.
Starting to fix the wingtip lights.
Three new lights readied for test fit. The heat against a plastic strip trick.
New lights test fitted which will be inserted towards the end of the build.
Thanks for dropping by folks.

Nice catch and a good fix. I might have used stretched clear sprue but that would take several tries to get the right shape.

Thanks for all your "Likes" and such folks and a big thanks foir your support. Good progress today, I now have something resembling and airplane.
I came across another minor anomaly with this kit today. The kit has very nice light recessed panel lines with the exception of the lower leg and wheel spats where for some reason they are raised. An Airfix oversight maybe.
My thanks to all you silent and inquisitive guy for just taking the time to pop in for a quick squint.

Looking great Vic, wonder if the gear shroud were just a repop out of an older kit. No that doesn't make any sense.

Poof and a Stuka appears overnight!
