Thanks Guys, been draggin' behind getting on the forum lately, but still moving the build along....

those other wheels have there patterns restored too Andy......

added the screen decals to the inside of the boom intakes....a simple way of solving that issue...! Painted the areas including the Cover pieces.

All of this fitted and closed up on both booms now but pics for one to save on time...

 
Thanks Guys, kicking into gear.....

earlier in the week...added the Booms to the wings along with the ailerons and wingtips....but first had to fit the sections for the turbo chargers....when I dry fitted the booms after this the fit was so good it took a bit of careful persuasion to separate them again for gluing...!
Also added the drop tank hard points too...along with a dry fit of the nose gear components...

Coming up on the outside fast mate.....

Public holiday yesterday, Australia Day, took the opportunity to get in a few hours.... Tail section and Rudders, Nose Cowl Covers prepped and fitted.
Front Engine nacelle side intake panels attached too.
Nose undercarriage assembled and fitted, as is the U-C Cover assembly.......Boo Boo happened here glued the outer and inner pars together for this cover then a few minutes later figured out I used the wrong internal section and not the one for the 'H' model. There is a subtle difference..!
Plan B got out an F/G I had and got the outer cover from here to go with the correct "H' inner and all good......the other simply goes back in the F/G box for the future....
Last item done, the Brass barrels to the nose section to replace the kit plastic ones...
