Looking good.

Internal details looks as good as the Tamiya kit despite being an older tooling. Nice work 👍

Good stuff Geo. I have this kit in the stash, earmarked for another NMF build.

Waiting for stuff to dry and set up, I moved ahead. Looks like the wing halves will be a good fit

Good stuff Geo. Glad it's gong well but I wouldn't expect problems with this kit.

Thanks guys. Andy, did a quick test of the finished wings and taped up fuselage. There are gaps but the dihedral is flat

 

[Crimea_River]

Nothing you can't handle man.

Looking great George

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

Nice colour scheme choice Geo.

Anytime there's a fraulien it has to be good!!Nice one Geo.

Nice stuff Geo. I didn't have DDG for the cockpit on my last P-47 "coffey's pot" so had to make a mix. Your colour looks good.

Thanks all. Waiting for harnesses to dry so moved ahead a bit. Part J15² installed. Should have the fuselage buttoned up shortly. When I got home I did another wing/fuselage test fit and added a bit of dihedral. It now looks like no filler will be needed after all

Belts are glued in place, just waiting for the joystick handle to dry and I can put the cockpit together. A big shout-out to Terry Airframes for the heads up about the seat being too far forward

Once glued to a fuselage half I'll be caught up on the other build and I'll start painting the engines
