I didn't get the side floor joint quite right so I have glued a strip of 0.25mm plasticard on the seam and I will sand it down when glue is hard.

Good bit of assembly. Still looking like a potting shed. Think I might add some bracing to the wing fuselage joint, some brass rods to stop the wings flapping.

Can't really say it's looking good but the work you are doing sure is.

Fitted a 1.2mm brass rod rear spar to help strengthen the wing join.

I have given the engine pods a first coat of aluminium paint. I am leaving the wings off to make painting easier, beginning to think I should have left the engine pods off as well. There is going to be a lot of fiddly work around the windows.
