Thank you Peter! As Jack Aubrey says "there's not a moment to lose"

Most of the cockpit finished, gunsight to go, all the stick parts were paper, and had more parts than any Hal kit stick, although not the same number of overall parts, it is a very nice kit so far!

Excellent, Glen!

Thxs gents, so far am impressed with this plane, although to make it in 1/144, well maybe not!:D Trying to do the gunsight, is not maybe as clear to construct as the control stick, that was cool.

Hey Glen, Lookin good:D

Thanks Bob!
I'm continuing today to kitbash this model, and am having alot of fun. I did have some problems with glue setting up a bit quicker than expected on the cowl, (port side), but the mechanical parts of this model are as nice as any, and really cool. Tricky building, though in places, and have not stayed totally with the kit plan, but not too far off.

Hey Glen, heard the term "Kitbash" several times. Not sure I have a true understanding what that exactly means?:o I was noticing the formers, they sorta look like balsa or is it just card board?
Looks great so far BTW:D
