Engine in and looks like a pretty good fit. Also dry fitting gun cowl.

Neato. Cowl looks good. During my builds a few GBs ago I found that these were not the best of fits on real aircraft. Your dry fit looks like this

Yep that's how I intend to leave it so there are gaps

Looks good Walter and a nice bit of clarification George.

Guys I'm reworking the brake lines on the legs after they popped off. I'm using ca glue to attach but I was wondering if any of you have a fool proof method. I think because the glue is on paint it's not a strong bond.

 

[Crimea_River]

Scratch off the paint - seriously.

 

[Wildsau]

I was hoping for a pearl of wisdom

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking good.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

Thanks guys, moving forward I'm tackling the undercarriage. I need to install the legs before putting the wings together so whilst its not ideal I'll try to get the best setup I can. So while working on this I'm adding a bit scratch build adding electrical lines and the tail elevator wire.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I'm liking this.

Nice details.

 

[fubar57]

Sweet. I need to start doing this.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

It's good to put in the detail but some times it's so damn fiddly.

 

[Wildsau]

Test fitting the engine and gun cowls.

Like the details, and it's all going to be covered up! ARRRRGH!
