Back with the build thanks Paul for your reply honey do list is over now its time back to buisness,, Okay fellas in this update GB build i have completed the underside of the fuselage....... The bottom p;ioeces consist of a kee and two formers along with thier four skins for the complete assembly..........The tail wheel is a optional feature can be retracted durring flight or exstended for landings and sitting on its dolly carrage. I elected it to be exstended so it can be displayed on its dolly.. A little trimming was needed for the keel the skins barely touched the bottom fuselage so i went ahead and trimmed them just a hair so that the skins can be glued to the bottom of the fuselage...... Next will be the skid and i will add a little detail to the cockpit compartment it is very sparse so a little here and there will go a long way. Here is the update. Next will be the conclusion of the fusel;age assembly.

Thanks Wojtek and you other great fellas for your replies i prabaly have her done by this evening or early tomorrow and i will post a supplement build to the GB.No.17. On the followi8ng update I have completed the dolly wheels and skid bar. I gave the fuselage a good burnishing to smooth out some seams all is left before I move to the wings is to add a little touch up detail to the cockpit which in turn the kit dont give you that much nothing more then a dial consol pilots seat and the cockpit compartment everything else is up to me.......... Here is the update.
