So after lots of careful dry fitting I managed to fit the lower wing, this is a super, super tight fit but got there in the end. Have a few large gaps in the lower joint but nothing to difficult to deal with but happily no step between the fuselage halves. Also added the upper cockpit surround which is any equily tight fit and as you can see, not a lot of the cockpit can be seen buy for me it was still worth the extra detail work. Some clean up and a liittle filler needed but happy so far. Regards. Andy

So after getting myself pretty bogged down trying to replicate the outer framing on the rear vac canopy I lost my inteerst in the build for a little while. I then saw John was offering a resin canopy and so then I had to ponder a little more on what to do. I the end I stuck with my original vac part I cut out very early in the build and which I have added internal frame work in to and after some careful masking I had this. Next up I painted the MG 81 ready for installation. Andthen finally fitted the rear vac canopy. Also pretty happy with how the internal framing is looking now the rear canopy is fitted and well worth the effort. Time for some very careful masking now but I prefer to build this way instead of trying to add lots of parts at the end and risking spoiling a paint finish with spilt glue! Really happy to be back to this build and can see light at the end of the tunnel now and looking foward to getting some paint out. Regards. Andy

Nice selection of kits you picked up there Dean! You said you were in the modelling doldrums in another thread you started so why not get the box open on that D.1 and crack on with it, great little kit and you won't be disappointed. Regards.Andy

Excellent progress Carl, nice work on the wings. Regards.Andy

Super cool work Danny. Regards. Andy

Excellent finish Nick, very cool scheme. Regards. Andy

Absolute beauty, Thanks for sharing. Regards. Andy

Nice work John and good to see back at the bench again! Regards. Andy

I have that on my short list Don, also consideri g a Sil-Air model as well at the moment. Regards. Andy

Need an air tank and needs to be quite rather than constantly running as I spray. Regards. Andy

Definitely no need to start cutting any of the kit away, those replaceme t radiators fit a treat as they are Max. Regards. Andy

Really nice work Nick, I have this conversion set and maybe planning on entering it in the night fighter grip build going on at the moment. Regards.Andy

That was my thinking Alan, very quite with a nice large tank as I have a few large models to paint coming up and the constant compressor running is really annoying for one thing. Regards. Andy

Looking to upgrade my Iwata Smart jet compressor to something with an air tank fitted. Not sure what to go for so any suggestions would be helpful. Currently looking and comparing Sparmax, Iwata and Silair. Regards. Andy

Planning on cutting and dropping all the control surfaces on my next 110 Max so interesting to see how you get on. Regards. Andy
