Thanks for your support guys...

Vic the slack or tensioned antenna wire is dependent on whether the pulley system was installed. Early Doras did not have the pulley system on the early style canopy so when opened the wiring went slack.

Red stencilling...will have to send you a scan of the detail Evan....after the comps on the weekend....
 
Made some progress....the other ejection chute done and added the small resin section for the rear wheel and took some pics....

More pics tomorrow the fuselage halves are now together and the cockpit is installed.

As I said fuselage is together, with one section of the upper nose glued on one side only, there was a slight twist or misalignment in this area so i decide to get one side right and reinforced before lining up the other side and fitting the other upper cowl section.

Thanks Guys.

Ok, got the upper piece of the gun cover in place, the gun cover is actually one large section so the way it has been done so ran a bead of superglue along it so it means plenty of careful sanding to fill along the sides to remove the join line, which it appears that I have nailed it....
plenty of reinforcing on the inside of the cowling to ensure all the pieces are set right and have a strong bond.
Also fitted the resin exhausts into each side of the cowl.

Added some Red lines to show where the join line is/was in the last pic.
