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

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.

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.

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.

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.
