One more advance.
All fuselage sections are ready to be glued together.
I had to trim some cardboard pieces. The result is not perfect but it is good in all but the central section of the fuselage.

Beautiful work on the "Dragonslayer". A great looking fuselage and interior.

I see an old FlyModel practice of doubling the card formers at each fuselage joint. It is certainly not the friendliest solution for the modeler! Fortunately, they went on to the inner tab and single former method. Anyway, the kit looks very promising!
Fine progress, Tino

Thank you MacSongli.


Ricleite - I also prefer the ineer tab method. But if everything fit well its enough to do do a good job.
The wings are already glued.

The lining of the wings was correct but some pieces of cardboard had the left / right markings mixed up.

The hardest thing was guessing whether the interior parts of the landing gear were right. I found out later that they were switched...

Very nice clean transition from the wings to the fuselage. She looks great.

Very well done up so far Tino! Those old kits are a challenge, you never know how they will turn out with all the fitting surprises but you do a great job here!

That's a thing of beauty! Without the engines, (the last pic) it looks like an Il-2! Nice job...Dan

Don and MacSongLi - Thank you.
Erik - Yes its is a challenge. The kit its good but not perfect. I
smithdr - Yes a little bit. This airplane have extremely nice design. The fuselage its so thin!! Amazing work from the designers.


The engine mounts fitted very well except for the front part of the engine cover and the fact that I couldn't tell if the parts inside the landing gear wells have the left/right markings swapped.
Another thing. Landing gear doors are glued and then cut for landing gear installation.
