Ahoy
So I lied this the last of the update build report for the night more tomorrow. I went ahead and constructed the main undercarriage and tail skid. The tail skis was reinforced with light backing material and pregnated with acc glue opened up the tail skid location and glued same to fuselage. Next i went to work on the undercarri8age there are 9 parts to the undercarriage assembly foue endplates where the shock bungies are supposed to be lashed down I will simulate that tomorrow after the tyres are in place. thye four legs and the center axel fairing. all reinforced with floral wire. burnished themn out and did the edgeing color which works very well with kits printing. no bad fit issues are in this assembly this model builds itself without the fuss. not certain for the novis but it would be challenging for the novis. Here is the last update pix.

Very nice, Boats! The Tripe & Pup are my favorite WWII airplanes.
The model "Flying Stepladder" is going to be spectacular in that larger scale and with all those wings. Plus a great "how-to" tutorial thrown in to boot!

Yep one thing I cant stand is seams I make them dissappear just keep burnishing them until the seam is gone. thanks Kevin.

I'm enjoying this build, and the very useful tips you include in the showing of it, Boats My Friend.
I can only echo Kevin with regards to the extremely neat cowling you have achieved.

The model is emerging very well under your fine hands.

Kind and Respectful Regards Boats My Friend, Uyraell.
