Hey Rodney, hows the build coming along? We would love to see some pictures of you work. Just a reminder this GB has just crossed over the halfway mark.

Never got any pictures of it primed so here is the cockpit with paint

Here the motor is together 3 parts to this

That's it for now more to come when I finds the memory stick for the camera :think:

Little update. The fuselage is together and have the wings together and then joined the wings to the fuselage. I took more pictures but the memory card wasn't in the camera :bash:

First time using masks for the cockpit glass and I have to say I don't think i'll build another aircraft without them it is way easier them trying to mask the glass with tape and trying to cut it with a blade.

Just couple more mask to add then its ready for primer then paint..
