HI yes I wil when I have the putty make some more progress on the landingear and details.

 

Today it started with a big fight the Ram air iflap are the easy part but first thing firts.

The air intake I tink are a bit crude specialy the front of the part 2 hours of try to get a smooth edge there is not inside detail so you have to make that your self.

Here the photo's

Now you can firts glue the ramair flaps like I did then glue the front peace of the air intake and if that done the back part to make it compleet.

Now if you do this then you wil have a hard time to put the ram air flaps need tight fit.

So just install them first and then do the big part with plenty of glue.

You have to be very patient and just do some dry fit afther you glued the ram air flaps in and do this when the glue dry's so you can move them about a bit.

It is a bit frustrating walking around with this big part for a 10 minuts LoL.

So afther a working day and figth with the elements :) this is a very difficult part of the build I think and hope it feels very rigid there is some need for putty and sanding specialy the end peace.

So I hope you are warned not to take this step to lightly don´t start this if you think just before bed time ore with a beer <_< .
