  1. With the Fuse in hand Peter their are notches in the wing root area for the spares to lay into when I did the r/s I barley intersected the fuse w/spar and I must of checked the fit 10X it was perfect.I guess I was tired that night wanted to let the fuse sit overnight to dry and it did for days all's good now.
  2. It's been a long time since I posted last and I almost ditched the build but fought my way through.The first photo is for Phil he said he had one in the stash.I had to add filler because I messed up when inserting the copit assembly into the R/side of the fuselage and not notching the wing spars all the way snug,it throws everything out of alignment.I got the spare to move up some with lavish amount of liquid glue being applied and needle nose pliers but it was not enough.So,I had to whittle down the spar up front on the R/side some to get the wing to align with the fuselage gap up top R/S gap on the bottom L/S all's good now.I did the wings out of wonk to the instructions building them and adding the cowlings for the engine and the engine just does slide her way in Nice Frigg'in Fit it was!I think if I had paid more attention to those spares no filler live and learn keep that in mind Phil.
  3. How true...........

  6. I am liking it John esp. the add-on to the rear seat that is cool!I have lived in Biloxi for the most all my life and I remember watching these planes as a young boy(60s) take off/land all day at KAFB.MY Dad was a CS Instructor out at KAFB and they had a park/recreation area across from the flight line just sit and watch.
  7. This has been a time consuming build PE wise while only two small frets almost 100 piece count lotsa lotsa little boxes then orientation to the kit really having to trust Eduards sheet.I tried to crop and enlarge guys but they changed GIMP and have yet to get it to save the changes it is what it is.
