Our young Scotty made up the master and Pete at Hawkeye cast a few for me.

It is quite basic, not much detail but fills a hole so to speak. I scribe some line along the ceiling to add some detail. I also fitted one to my AA Express B733 ( thread to start soon).

Nice work so far Ray. What did you use to fill the windows?

A run of superglue and then the pin holes were filled with Tamiya white putty

Yep, plenty of super glue... its cheap! :D

So some more filling

and the wings went on as well

Image

Main well cover
Image

some more putty
Image

And the engines are together

This aircraft is an Advanced version, at this stage, I don't want to mode the engines, there is only a 5mm difference in length which is hardly noticeable.

I may change my mind when I get around to sanding all the putty I have laid down.
