Bruce, I have not commented before this thread, but this is so cool and very interesting! I have always been thinking about these started kits and how to build them really as a starter!speedgraflex wrote:

Page 3. Assembly of wings to fuselage completed. There are probably gaps. My girlfriend is now in town so with apologies to all I will need your patience. It may be some time before I post again this year. It has been a wild ride to get to this point both with the model and with my life, but I am sure everyone here understands that when someone you hold close to your heart becomes a part of your world your world changes. I’ll be in touch.
Make more models!

Wow, this is magnificent! Better than I could do at this stage!
Now go enjoy time with your girlfriend; you earned it. While your work is a thrill to look at, we can wait as family friends and people in general come first.

That’s looking damn good Bruce! But your lady looks even better, you lucky dog.

Duke! Duke! Duke! and Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Thank you so much. Declan, thank you so much! Kari! Kari! Kari! Thank you so much!!! John Eaton, thank you so much!!
Here are the two pieces together. I had a little trouble making the fit work. The fuselage is slightly too narrow when constructed the way I chose to do it, by building out the cowling around the engine ring, which Airfix makes one of the last instructions. I did not agree with that decision on their part as building around the engine plug created a natural jig for the cowling sections and improved the overall appearance.
Also I used Humbrol #154 when I should have used the lighter color gray which is included. In that case, I followed Airfix’s instructions when I should have followed my instinct. The wheel well should not be the same color as the cockpit.
