Update build report for the day I will post another tommorow. I have completed the top center wing unit its rigging is completed thoise struts amazed me by how many times I passed a needle through them without damaging them... Instead of moving to the undercarriage assembly as planned I will move to the outer wing panels and save the propellers and undercarriage until last along with other sundries.. I should have this build concluded by next week sometime and start another build by this Feburary I surmise that we will haqve a new group build count me in, Thanmks fellas for all of your replies.

Thanks guys for your replies update build report for today is the construction and the installation of the bottom wing outer panels.. the bottom wing panel;s are constructed like the rest of the build spars and ribs, once the spars and ribs are added to the bottom wings they were set a side to dry after they have dried I installed the wings and the alerons I will let these units dry over night so the glue will cure before i add the top wing outer panels..The vimy is a big kit so i had to stand back and take the shots to get a better view of the build tomorrow i will add the top wing panels and the interplane struts as i construct the intire wings. here are the pix for the night.
