Sponsons are glued on ----
That's the last of the big items that needed doing.
The instruction sheet for the A400 says to paint the landing lights (chrome silver) before applying some decals. I did that then had to glue in some windows that are in front of the lights. Did that then glued the top and bottom halves of the sponsons together.
But before that I had to adjust all the u/c support frames so that all the wheels ended up level once they get installed. Needed to do this to make sure everything lines up once the nose gear is installed too.
Then it was just a case of making sure the fuselage sides where the sponsons got glued on was straight.
Now the fun starts, just got to make the fuselage/sponson root fairings for the bottom. By leaving these off, I was able to check that all the ribs were in contact with the fuselage side and that they were all attached good and proper once I had glued them on. Hopefully I can get all this done by next week, plus the 'tidying up' it needs before I start painting it.
