Excellent work so far

From the pieces you pictured, it looks like they're all missing...bummer

Yep all six cowl sections, but a pretty easy fix to solve the problem...

thanks looking in!

That was a lucky break with those gaps Wayne and I'm sure you'll find fixing the engine cowls no problem. Question though, are you going all out with this build or just the usual (by your standards) build. My mind goes back to your 88

Seems like one of your more challenging builds in recent times Wayne. Doing great as always though.

The good thing was i dry fitted the parts before glueing the wings together so i knew the fit was good to start with....after I glued the wings and clamped them it was then I had the gap problem, so i just reversed the process and problem solved!
Extra work will depend on time frame of build Vic, and just what is worth doing....my initial thinking is there may not be much extra stuff to do...will see as i go along...

Ok started assembling the first engine cowl including drilling out the small exhaust outlets....and a test fit to the wing, as you can see in the last shots the missing broken part becomes rather obvious...easy fix though will grab some 1.5mm plastic strip tomorrow on the way to lacrosse and sort it out real quick...!
Only 5 more to do!

Thanks for stopping by Guys...
