Thanks fellas ,nice to have you all along

Made a little start tonight .Not much ,but still a start !
I assembled the Mercedes engine ,still some parts to go on ,but they go on a bit later .The plastic seems very hard in this kit ,which made getting the finer parts off the sprues interesting ! Got there in the end tho ....

Then a quick look at the fuselage interior walls ,there is some nice molded detail and there are more parts to add to the walls ,but there are some EPM's that will need sorting out ,not all of them but there is a few which may be visible once the fuselage is closed up ...

Then a quick dry fit of the fuselage & engine together ,the fit isnt too bad ,but if you look at the pics some of the openings dont quite line up so they will need sorted too .

Next up will be the cockpit parts

Thanks for looking.
