All of the seats in and painted. plus as the window plastics are small and separate I have used retail clear plastic to cover all window openings.

more city to city Pat, we called it the flying shoebox

[PatW]

What was it then Les a size 10 or smaller?

Two more views.. It says in the destructions to put a heavy weight in the nose to keep the front down but not having found anything small enough I put a secret piece of clear plastic under the tail. Oh I shouldn't have told you that!

I have just found out that the decal strip to run along the side of the aircraft has no openings for the windows! Looking back it says lay up the decals then when dry use part number X to punch holes in the decal etc. What I thought? I have ordered some narrow masking tape to paint round the windows!

[PatW]

Test fit wings with engines attached. Not cemented on as yet due to having to paint fuselage sides.

 

[PatW]

Another test fit on the tail whilst I wait for masking tape to be delivered.

A bit more! Not impressed with my painting instead of solid (without window holes) side decals!
