Thanks. The fit of the two piece nose cone is not great. When dry fit as a whole, there will be a lip most of the way around, the cone being a wee bit smaller. Each half fits well so I'm gluing them separately and deal with a horizontal seam.

Sounds like a plan, looks good though

Thanks. Went better than expected...

That worked out very well indeed.
Strange pitot tube though ................... yes, I know, and I'v got me coat, hat, and I'll close the door !

I need one of them clamps for my nose. Something smells.

fubar57 · Dec 18, 2019

Yikes. Unlike the single seaters, this one needs no mods to close the main gear doors before painting.

A good fit.

Lots of detail on a part that is meant to be closed up

Almost up to the paint stage, just the rest of the tail section to add

Nice work so far George!

Looking good George

So did you glue that door or are you just checking? If glued, not sure you will get the gear in.

fubar57 · Dec 18, 2019

Yea, the retraction struts get in the way. Rudder glued on, waiting for it to set and then I can glue on the elevator

Family portrait time. It's the same on the other two threads.

Iv'e seen them triplets before somewhere....

Wurger · Dec 19, 2019

Oh... déjà-vu.

T Bolt · Dec 19, 2019

yea, seeing double, or is it triple

Wurger · Dec 19, 2019

Triple..

Airframes · Dec 19, 2019

Good stuff.
Is it just me, or the camera angle, but does the two-seater look slightly smaller than the other two ?

fubar57 · Dec 19, 2019

Camera angle. I thought the same after I looked at the posted photo and went downstairs to check. Both roughly the same size. Checking dimensions online shows that the air frames are pretty much the same length though going through several sites I haven't found the same number twice
