Update, I've been working the Eduard sets. I have to work two or three sets at a time to get any one area worked. the cockpit for instance, both Interior and exterior sets are working the bomb bay set is working the bulkheads forward and aft so at any one time I have the desk cluttered even for my standards,

Working both the forward and aft bomb bay bulkheads you file off the ribbings from the upper section and cut a hole in it. using the Eduard part I dabbed some white paint in the section to cut and then drilled to holes and using a PE saw cut rough section out. I then attached the PE section and used a file to clean it up.

Next was just adding the PE detail items. It calles for you to cut the doors out, I did not want the doors open do I just add the door facings.

Next I started working the flight deck (cockpit). I needed to work here because it helps with the alignment of some of the sidewall items.

But to get the sidewall alignments done I need to be able to pre mount the flight deck so I had to work the nose gear section,

Look at the lower right and see the bulkhead from the copilots seat and the bulkhead reinforcing brackets on the sidewall to the bulkhead. Yeah that what I'm trying to get together!!!!!

I have decided that this project can not be finished in time. Too many family things going on and now my wife loves me enough to share her covid with me. Now that is love. Cooties from my cutie!

Anyway I am dropping the rest of this build. I have gotten maybe 30 minutes on the bench in the last two month. I'll put her away and hope to get back on it in a future time.

Feel like crap warmed over and can't stay up for very long. I'll try and get GB 53 postings ready later today.
 
Well, look on the bright side if the virus doesn't kill you, you'll have natural immunity, or shall I say resistance, which is five times more potent than vaxx alone.

Yeah wife and I both have all three shots. She has Maderna and I Pfizer. Feel pretty rough like a really bad cold and I'm winded pretty easily. But thanks for the vote of confidence on death. I like that
