I'll try to remember to NOT dock marks for the crooked landing gear when judging the build.

and my now Flat tyres.
Been quiet on the bench, doind some fitting before painting the fuselage.
Realized I can se into the bowels thru the open big access door, so I'm adding the bracket inside for the radios behind the pilot.
Opened a couple more small access panels, it just didn't look abused enough. One next on the port side outside the cockpit had some stuff visible so had to add on the cockpit insert.

Well, painting my rudder has proved a bit tedious. I had to clean it with thinner to remove a bad coating. Which caused I am guessing, the New paint not to dry or adhere. So I have had to cast, shape and will now paint with a different method. Thought I could get away without primer, not this time. Other painting and fitting going on to the rush to the finish!
