Also did some additional seam sanding along the forward fuselage and cockpit area.

Fran I had forgotten you lived in Porto Portugal! We were there last September on a river cruise. Absolutely loved the city and it’s people!!

Turned out to be a chilly rainy day so rather than take a trip over to the storage site to work on the Flair dashboard I decided to stay home, do some projects around the house and continuing to build my Easy Eight lower hull. Completed steps 11 through 13 assembling the suspension boggies, remaining return rollers plus stapled the tracks together. That completes the lower hull.

Other than the rubber track, would rather see link in link tracks that come with many new Tamiya armor releases, it’s a stellar kit. I’m adding lots of stowage plus a Tamiya 1/35 German bike to add interest.

Oh wow I had no idea!! There’s safety in numbers, lol!!! I look forward to following the other builds. Always looking for new ideas and techniques.

Possible rain showers today so enjoyed my morning coffee and assembled 2 drive sockets, 4 return rollers and 6 smaller return rollers in step 9 and attached them to the lower hull in step 10.

It’s a pretty sweet kit however a wish it had link in link tracks rather than rubber tracks. I do well painting and weather rubber tracks and have had folk mistakenly think that they were metal tracks. Personally I love the fit and realistic look of the link in link tracks.

Haven’t built up an aircraft kit in a long while so these are the results for the finished kit I’m looking for. Fingers crossed!🤞

Complete steps6,7 and 8 assembling the idler shaft, which was fiddly to align and the exhaust deflector.

Oh good to hear. I’m very excited to own one after all these years of scale model building!!! I guess with better skills you end up with better tools!

It a rainy holiday morning in Richmond so enjoyed an hour of building. Assembled the Differential Cover along with its tow hooks etc in step 3 and then attached to the front of the lower hull in step 5. HobbyTown USA in Richmond is open 10-5 today so planning a trip to purchase some needed supplies!!
