Ok, you may take a breath and be calm now.....Pics! have done the cooling gill for the other side of fuselage as well as add the cowling bulges. As this kit has no locating pins have added plastic card strips to help line up and strengthen the join when the fuselage halves are joined...

May 11, 2011 #33 Vic Balshaw Major General 21,834 8,194 Jul 20, 2009 Canberra Quite amazed you have no locating pins for that size kit. Still them strips will do fine, infact I sometimes feel they are better. Nice work Wayne.
