Thanks, All...I put some more together last night and I'll shoot for finishing the main fuselage tomorrow.

MAXE...talk about arbeiten! Some serious work on that model. I think the kit I chose is simpler and takes less skill to master than that link. That is a great job. I especially like how the cockpit was slipped in and the work on the props and gear were nice. Not to mention the lovely clear canopy. Thanks so much for the link

I have something to strive for now.

Cheers to all...Dan

Evening, All...

Just a bit more tonight. I didn't get quite as far as I wanted, but steady as she goes and I learn more with each seam and tab...

Maybe tomorrow I'll get the last part and the fin/rudder completed. That part looks a bit daunting!

Cheers,

Dan

P.S. Don! Yes...this is the kit you are referring to and the fit seems very well engineered thus far. Any issues have been builder induced.

Thanks Joe, Rich and Don! Here is the fin/rudder completed. There are a few miss steps in the panel lines and I wasn't sure how it would all actually go together

I needn't have worried as it all made complete sense as I test fit things. I'm quite pleased

I kind of like the clean looks of this machine with the gear up, so I haven't opened the tail wheel well yet. I'll see how it all looks together...

Thanks for looking and keep folding!

Dan
