One thing about this kit Lyle had mentioned on the DC-3 kit.... this kit has no locator pins whatsoever. Everything was glued in place with no issue as long as I was able to keep it there. When I did the fuselage halves, I glued the back half first before the front half due to the lack of locator pins.
I had one wing - the top and bottom half slid out of position. Good thing I caught it before it was completely dried to correct it.
This is a low part count kit and simple, fun little kit to do without stressing over about details. I'll have this one done soon at some point next week.

Sounds like a fun kit Tom, it's certainly starting to look the part.

I love 1/72 scale aircraft, this will be a great build I'm sure, I think I have one in my stash somewhere.

The box arts of those old kits are little treasures. The kits mostly aren't. But you're able to wrestle them in something presentable.
