Great work so far!

 

[vikingBerserker]

What a stunning job so far!

 

[Vaughan]

The cockpit is now all buttoned up and I have added the spar to achieve the correct dihedral. I have made some adjustments to the fuselage as I've opted to do the early version top oil filler cover filled as was only used on the G10 variant.

Great work

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks for the comps guys. Might be a while before my next update as I managed to fall down stairs on Sunday bruised ribs an a swollen left arm now in a sling. Luckily no brakes after a visit to A&E but it has put me out of action.

 

[Crimea_River]

Damn Vaughan, that's scary. Glad you didn't break anything and hope to see you back at it soon. Take care man.

 

[Wurger]

With Andy. I hope you make a swift and speedy recovery.

 

[javlin]

Wow Vaughn take care and mend it up Sir

 

[Wayne Little]

It's all been said...take care man...

 

[Lucky13]

Crikey! Glad you didn't break anything mate.....get well soon!

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks for your kind words guys, just got back on the bench yesterday for the first time will post my progress in the next couple of days.

 

[Wayne Little]

good stuff Vaughan...

 

[Vaughan]

Well as promised here at last is some progress although not too much.
The fuselage is now together and the side cowlings added. As I'm going with the late version I've added the high tail option. A little sanding was required as there is no natural panel line where the top section is added.
The top section of the cowling is at present not glued as the exhaust stacks are not in place, I was hoping to work round this one and added them further down the line but they have to be inserted from the inside so will require masking at some point.
Not sticking to the instructions I've made a start on the nose cone and prop. Revell in their wisdom have split the nose cone where there is no seam and as a result once the props are fitted it will be nearly impossible to remove the join so some modification is required so the props can be added later.
