Landing gears assembled. I mixed my own aluminum color shade using Tamiya Aluminum, Sky Grey, Light Gunnmetal, & Titanium Silver.

Knocking it out of the park!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looking really sweet Tom.
What do you think of the kit so far?

Your interior looks great to Tom. Now just remember to keep the DEET away from your workbench and you should have a good looking build on your hands soon

It's very good. Typical Tamiya kit. Step 6 is questionable - instructs you to install landing gears to bays in wings... BEFORE gluing wings to fuselage. Nope... gonna install them til last. Makes no sense why on step 6. I won't install tail wheel til last as well.

Fuselage done! Had to fight to get glue to set at nose area. Managed to set it using thin CA glue. I think I know what was the problem. Most likely the front cockpit section (quad MG/instrument panel section)was glue slightly in an angle. My fault for not noticing it while it was drying at the time of cockpit assembly stage a week or so ago.

This is looking great!
The school I was going to for a bit for aircraft maintenance was built on the property of a DeHavilland factory here in Canada. They had remnants of the original building built into it and everything. They build everything from Tiger Moths to Mosquitos
