Okay . . . some progress.
First off, I noticed that the main fuselage part as supplied was rather heavy, and, as the undercarriage legs looked a little flimsy, I decided to remove some of the excess resin, witha Dremel, drill and saw. Here's the fuselage as supplied,
and after removing the excess resin, and a coat of dark grey inside.
Next I removed the pour plugs from the cockpit and top decking parts.
I also prepared the nosepiece to receive the engine.
The kit engine isn't very good,
there are some prominent air bubbles, and removing it from the pour plug will lose a lot of detail. Fortunately, it's a copy of the Airfix Bristol Bulldog engine, and I have a spare one of those . . .
and here it is, dry fitted to the nosepiece.
On to the wings now. the upper one, which is slightly bigger, is the best to use, but needs a cut out to match the lower one.
Using the lower one as a guide, I cut out the upper one to match.
Dry fitted to the fuselage.
And lastly, the tail surfaces prepared.
That's All For Now, Stay Tuned . . .
cheers,
Robin.
