Thanks for tuning in and thank you everybody, Yep I had no clue how colossal this thing is. Never been up next to a Dc 10 before I amagine its a big aircraft. I have a great spot to hang this one up in my living room My wife incouraged me to do so when completed. Because of its size I am working slow on this one I am getting it ready for the May 12th model convention Isaac is bringing his collections too. Okay stay posted I have an update coming up in a few. Thanks Gary.

Update No3 thus far the center section of the fuselage unit is finished all 5 interior bulkheads have been backed and cemented in place setting aside to dry. Next move on to more of the fuselage segments and assemble same. no fit issues at this time the kit is going together very well Its going to be a great build the bulkheads were a little tight but they were positioned and glued without fuss. I was never to keen on jet aircraft of all types but this Dc 10 is superb in design and fitting of parts. working slow on this one 5 hours invested thus far in its construction. Below are the pictures of its assembly more to come please stay posted.

Being a very large model you got to work slowly the bigger they are the flimsy it gets but this kit has great integrity of strength working very clean make certain that when burnishing you place a paper towel over the printing to keep from coming off. working slowly and carefully will assure easy construction I am working slowly on this thanks YOAV you have the greatest designs I already uploaded your A4 Skyhawk a beauty of a kit I be posting that build after this build I got get completed by the 11th for the show its going together very well to make the time limit Thanks YOAV.

I wish you success in this model and in my model.

In my A-4F there are many pictures in the building instructions ... and there are also all sorts of notes in yellow and red .... It is worth reading these notes well, they greatly facilitate the construction work.

best regards from Israel

Update for today now its time to watch the fuselage grow as seen below in the photos the construction of the fuselage segments and the assembly of the fuselage. This kit is excellent the fit of parts are Superb no fit issues but do tell. working slowly and carefully as I can the hard part in the construction of the beast is keeping clean as you build I am constantly washing my flippers and wearing gloves they do help a lot. As of now letting the unit dry over night and give it a good burnishing in the morning as the glue dries well. Next I will finish up the fuselag3e and move to the tail feathers.

Update build report for today tomorrow more will follow The entire fuselage unit is completed now its time for her tail; feathers and the center engine nacelle empanage. This will follow up tomorrows progress. to say the least this kit is building itself and I am helping, no fit issues at all the entire kit is superb thus far a build come true at this stage of construction I sprayed the entire fuselage unit with Tree house Clear Acrylic gloss spray in rattle can its the only one out there no airbrush capabilities Letting her dry now and will give it a very light burnishing The fuselage skins are flush and smooth right next to each other. A great kit I am happy I have another in my stash. Here are the update pictures for today.
