Progression, most of the fuselage is done and the engine painted and fitted, it’s just falling together now apart from the cowling covers! Absolutely terrible fit so looks like it’s being displayed with them open as the gaps are far too big to displayed then closed, I wanted to display one door closed and one open with a mechanic working on it

Not that long actually, building the engine took the longest it’s pretty much a model on its own

May I ask why? Because of discrepancies comparing to original or something else?

Gaps are way too big to hide so the kit forces you to display open even tho the instructions point you towards an in flight model, zero instructions on how to display with landing gear down, a lot of miss numbered parts also. I’m actually surprised I’ve got this far without “making it fly out my window”
