I've built that kit - I converted it to a mk.II - it was good fun if I remember correctly.

[Stuart]

God you've bloody done it - the nostalgia got to me - I've put a bid in on this one (as it's the kit I built before)

I'm blaming you Bruce!

GOOD FOR YOU, STUART! I support this decision 100%.

It should be quite interesting actually - the in-line engines make it different enough from Bruce's build not to steal his thunder, the work he's putting into the engines is superb. I do agree however I think the MG's will need changing - I'll need to read back through his thread to see which ones he used.

This will save you having to page through to find the intel!

Thanks Bruce!

Notes I redid the top three braces (I told ya I was gettin' better each time—that learning curve), I filed the mis-aligned bottom and top seams as "true" as possible (going to add a smidgen of putty perhaps), temporarily added the resin propeller hub which looks very nice to me! It is almost 1 am. Time to clock out! Let me know what you think.

Echo thoughts.

better he seems, just follow the airfix instruction figure, bracets are on the same plan





Afternoon i'll put some closer image withouth propeller if can help

Based on the pictures, I think the work you’re doing is definitely zeroing-in on the kind of fidelity you’re shooting for with this project.

Yes, please!

Thanks so much. I was concerned about filing the steps down on the engine cowling as well. I stopped before getting trouble. There are two injector pin marks on the interior of each cowling that I kind of want to remove. I will need to make a round sanding stick and just go for it.
