My entry for the Group Build. I never build armor...

The kit was started by its previous owner, but I'm confident it's less than 25%.

Just the kind of GB we want: a bunch of halfwit airplane guys building armor.

this GB is going to look like a room full of Chimpanzees on typewriters...

I LOVE IT!!

I have this same kit sitting in a box in my old bedroom on another continent.  Looking forward to seeing YOURS go together.

Nice, I had that kit when I was a kid (kind of old kid, of maybe twelve years). Great to see this one participating.

Cheers Rob

Hate to break it to you, but that big rectangular piece in the front is...

...armor!

If I had this kit in one hand and the Dragon version in the other, it would fly.

 

Out my window.

Landing gear assembled; got the sink holes filled, but some more minor filling to do.

Some sub-assembly work done...

I don't know how much of this will be visible, but I had to fill ejector pin marks and voids...

The wing has had its EPMs filled and sanded. A coat of paint already, too.

Nice progress there Bill.

I think there may be an issue with the airfoil profile of the wing though. Did the 88 have a Davis wing or a laminar flow one?
