The frames are very tricky to fit properly George.
I had to remove the center one as it interfered with the wing fit.

It's still not great underneath !

Tonight i tackled getting the landing gear bays and got the engine mounts done.

ICM have made this overly complicated in my opinion, see the instructions.



Of course its not as simple as it looks, needed 6 hands to hold things in place at one point.
Careful study of the process is needed.
But its done now after 2 hours of frustration and swearing.

Another niggle.
It's not made really clear that the squared off section of the ring you mount the engine, has to be at 10 o'clock.
I found out as i tried to fit the engines, got one right one wrong

I think you managed that one very well Karl. Glad I wasn't around for the vocal rants.

Thanks chaps, nothing done today.

Hoping to finish the engine cowls and maybe get RLM 65 done tomorrow.
