For a big kit, surprisingly few parts but they fit very well.
Will get fuselage closed tomorrow then things get slightly more fiddly with the engines, exhausts etc.
Then will start painting.

Whoa, my head is spinning!

low attention to detail, acrylic paint, old fashioned brush painting make things go much faster

plus being indoors 23 hours a day helps with having the time to spend 7 or 8 hours at the Work bench !

Good stuff Red Two.
Those seats look about as comfortable as a Herc.

Junkers sure did like corrugations.

So did Ford. Just look at their Trimotor.

Nice fit with the fuselage parts. Could have been a nightmare trying to fill gaps.

Yes, the fit is good all round, though a decent amount of pressure was needed to keep the joints tight on the roof.
the floor panel i glued in stages front to back to get a tight fit.

impressed with this kit, much easier to build than i imagined such a large model would be.

Think i may have made a mistake when i built the engines though.
they might be at wrong rotations if i use the fitting lugs, if so i'll just remove the lugs and butt join the engines in place the right way up !
