Another small aircraft I have started, the Baynes Bat. Not my first kit by Jach, I have also build the Heinkel He-176. That was an enjoyable build so I hope this one will be to.

And here I was thinking that this was something out of Batman by the name... :hmm: What is this? I see British roundels.

The Baynes Bat was a scale test model for a tank carrying glider. A very obscure subject but for some reason Jach decided to make a kit of it.

I painted the cockpit and closed the fuselage. Whilst doing some minor tweaks I bumped my bottle of Micro Weld. So the pictures below are not representative of the current state of affairs. But I just had to walk out after cleaning up. So no pictures and damage assessment yet.

:ggun: :scream:

I may have "cried wolf". Once the glue was evaporated there was surprisingly little damage. So I finished building and masked the canopy.

That is always a relief when the damage is minimal to none. I'm glad nothing was permanently damaged. This is looking great so far.
