Well I said in my review I cannot keep my hands off this and I couldn't. So Wednesday morning whilst my video was being uploaded and I had nothing on my bench so I started building it. I have a lot of video of the build but not many photos is the model was just falling together it wouldn't surprise me if I'd put the glue in the box and could shake it on opening the box I would have a finished model.
How I came to this stage I started with the front bulkhead alone in position and using the right hand half of the fuselage to align the bulkhead. I then made up the seat rear bulkhead and floor.
I then gave the sides of coat of interior green whilst that was drying I cleaned up and painted some of the other parts.
And then came to of the important parts to be placed on the sides of the Fuselage as these hold the instrument panel. I gave them some colored buttons lights and levers to get some Colour in their and then place the floor and rear bulkhead in at the same time and placed in the rear gunner's platform and once more use in the right hand side still align everything up.
Using tape to hold them together till they were dry. After little time I took them apart and gave them a ink wash
When that was dry it was time to glue the two halves together and using tape to hold them together
That's about it for Wednesday work.
The build will slow down on Friday when I start the painting as I have to wait for it to dry before continuing.
Thanks for looking hope you'll buildings going good see you soon Alan
