White glue is the way, my man.

Thanks Bruce, it is pretty good stuff.

Looking very nice. I agree white glue is the way.

Thanks Lyle!

Very nice work Stuart!

Thanks Carlos - it's certainly different.

Very cool!

Thanks Mike!

Looks like we are taking turns missing each other's posts Stuart

Looks like a fun kit and an interesting subject. You are making good progress on it. I like how they did the fuselage frame. Keep up the good work my friend!

LOL! Just seems to be the way Chris. Not helped by the fact that I couldn't get on the boards for a few days.

It's a great little kit. Not perfect but a lot of fun. I'll certainly build another.

I use very carefully Tamiya extra thin glue....

But.....WHITE GLUE...

LOL! Well actually Glue-n-Glaze Greg but essentially white PVA glue yes.

Although as it happens, I had to strip it all down anyway as the wing tab wasn't 100% flat and threw out the upper clear parts. Also I couldn't get the windscreen to fit right, so I did actually put it together with Tamiya in the end, which is my normal go-to as well.

Just for kicks I fitted the wings (now finished) and the struts. This is all held together with gravity, the attachments points for the struts are really positive.

I've also filled and cleaned up the spats, although I do need to replace the step on the top of the spats that I removed during sanding.

It is really wonderful to see a new tool all styrene kit fit together like this! Bravo, Stuart!

It's a really nice kit Bruce, it should look good on the shelf.

It's a very nice one indeed Kari, I'm looking forward to getting some paint in it.

Thanks Carlos. They really have, I hear good things about the new 1/48 Jaguar and the upcoming 1/48 Phantom.

She’s got wings!

Thanks Tom - only held on by gravity at the moment, as I'll paint them separately. I'm just waiting for my canopy mask set to arrive.
