Main float officially attached, ladder posing. I was surprised that the float laid down so easily as there was a bit of play. More surprised when I placed everything on the trolley and the wing wing tips were the same height. The thin red stripes on the float are to align with the wooden trolley uprights to make sure the aircraft was balanced. They will be aligned for the final photos

That's because a master craftsman crafts masterfully.

Many thanks. I manged to attach the broken antenna, first using tube glue and when that set up, I rubbed super thin CA along the antenna using a toothpick. Its not perfect but as close as I can get it. It set over night and after just checking, I have confidence to attach antenna wire. Finals shortly
