Mg's soldered... not perfectly aligned at the muzzles, but it's 3 layers and size you can compare with the butchers knif...

Side consoles and floor..

First half side done

Sight... very comprehensive...

a mean machine...

but when checking with the glass parts it becomes another story... the angle is completely off. Need to think hoh to cop...

result...

Started PE-cabin from eduard... Middle vertical wall is a few mm short

not that big after all

An idea of the set-up I'd like... If it doesn't work out with the smoke, it will be less dramatic...

Hull assembled, still need to check whether the pontons have a flush fit

hull parts, even the old airfix panellines are small compared to this...

Wing cut-outs made and dryfit of the flaps, still need to wait till the wings are joined with the hull

removed all necessary details, time to start with filler and adding stuff
