That nose gear strut is gonna be hating life in a bit....

Nice work so far...

I'm thinking of going the old Monogram route and fabricating a boarding ladder to hold up the tail.

Small update. Spent a lot of time doing research on the radios, oxygen systems, lighting, and wiring on the aircraft. I also started cleaning up the 16 various Oxygen bottles and 14 misc radios I ordered from Resin2Detail. Next step is to start detailing them.

The Resin2detail stuff is brilliant!  That's where I got my radios and O2 tanks.   I've been following this build...got some great ideas!  I'm doing "Going My Away" (at least until some decals come out that distract me).  I have replacement turrets on the way, too.

 

Cheers,

I definitely want to see pictures when you get them. So far the pictures don't look promising.

Hey 1to1 

 When you get around to building your landing gear watch out for this area on the main gear.

20190228_125019.jpgIt's a weak point and needs to be reinforced. I wish Aeroscale would make those parts out of brass it would resolve the issue.
