Good looking model. However, the neatness of your building area is a true sign of a deranged mind.

We master builders refer to that work space appearance as "creative disarray" - extremely hard for the beginning builder to understand or appreciate.

I was just going to say that I don't think anyone had ever described my desk as 'neat' before.
Perhaps in the context of "with no mixers or ice"...

All things are relative, my son.

Made some progress since the last post.

First pic: Landing gear cut out. Spreader bar formed and one of the layered blanks for the wheels. The last caused my a little grumble. I don't know if I slipped tightening ye olde circle cutter, or what, but the inner hole ended up too small. I was able to fix it, but I did say bad words.

Second pic: On the gear!

Looks almost like one of those "oops!" pictures from the era! (And how do you say "oops!" in Polska anyway?)

Gravity as a clamp and off to dinner.

Into the home stretch. Still remaining;
Aileron "parkbenches" (there's another short-lived bit of aerodynamic fashion!)
Rudder horns and cable leads
Exhaust pipes all 18 of them. They roll up out of a couple of tubes, then need to be cut to fit.

Looking mighty fine!

I like the look of this one and you're certainly doing a great job on it. It doesn't seem to have a lot design or print problems?????
I missed getting this one when I had the chance and haven't seen it since. This and the Bristol Beaufort are the ones I'm still searching for!

Did the exhaust pipes and the few remaining fiddly bits. Instruction on the pipes are practically non-existent and they're given as a couple of tubes to roll and cut up. That didn't work out quite right so I ended up rolling my own and touching them up with a bit of ink
