Harv, great to see the old master back at the bench……that’s one big bundle of resin etc to squeeze in…….definitely watching this one………

[harv]

Yes, it's bitten me in the ass a few times  !.....harv

[Kaireckstadt]

Now you’re back to the bench and your progress is awesome Harv! 
Curious how it will go on! 

[harv]

Thanks Kai. Yes, you and me both......harv

[GazzaS]

Good to see progress, Harv.

[harv]

Thanks Gaz. I started to glue the bottom on one side tonight. It's the easiest starting point I could go. Have no instructions with this resin. It's a work in progress thing.....harv

[Martinnfb]

Is it done yet ?

[harv]

Well I am closer than I was yesterday!......harv 🤣

[GazzaS]

NO instructions?!?!?

[harv]

Thats right. I'm helping out with build to hopefully change that....harv

[harv]

I did get the bottom attached to the one side. The floor is not glued in yet, still fitting it. I'll have a bit of sanding and cleanup on the outside bottom....harv

[BlrwestSiR]

Now that's definitely jumping into the deep end. Using an AM set and being the guy who gets to write the instructions as he goes. 

Good plan on gluing the fuselage floor to one side. That should help with placing stuff.

Copy Carl Harv: great idea to make fit easier!

Harv

So you're writing the instructions - now 'ain't that something'

Keep 'em comin

Ambitious project Harvey, me likey . 

[harv]

Thank you Martin !....harv

[harv]

Before I go any further,  there is something I need to cover about the resin parts,I.E.  the ceiling. When using this conversation,  it is necessary to move the ceiling up 7 mm. Fly got it wrong. All the parts for transmission are printed with the correct placement in mind.....harv

Harv

Nice going on the correction - I still wonder why kit manufactures make such errors in today's age of can and scanning.

Keep 'em comin

No pics, just dry fitting the sid windows. Haven't touched it for a couple of days. I have been dealing with severe pain in my left leg for a month. Turns out I had 2 blockages and needed a rotorooter job done on the veins. I'm much better now but sore as hell. So I'll be back to the bench in a couple of days.....harv

Cheers Rob
