It's all moot now....just shelled out for the Duo Discus with motor.......and a 1/32 Tigermoth, and a 1/72 Twotter.  Oh yeah, I got my primer, too..
Bloody credit cards...

Well, it's been decided by a complicated process of elimination, battles royale, and the closing of eyes and throwing darts at the instructions.....
The winner is:
 
*drumroll*

Goodnight folks, and thanks for watching!

Thanks mate....you've narrowed it down to 8...

More progress....slow, but steady.
The other day, I glued in what I presume is the engine cover...guessing there's a powered version out there somewhere.  The instructions call for putty to fill the "panel lines" that would result from it going in.
 

 
I've also masked the main gear with cling wrap, and the front wheel, so I could fill the gaps in that section.
 

 
Another thing that is a little surprising is the inboard control surfaces need to be puttied over as well, so out came the masking tape to protect the outboard surfaces and detail on the underside of the wings.
 

 

 
Oh, did I mention I *hate* puttying....

Another small issue....I haven't decided which scheme to do!  The colours I have to choose from are the cream, the bone, the white, the off-white, the ivory, or the beige...so which should I do? (actually, they're all white...)
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back on this model.  Sanding, sanding, and more sanding.  Now I have a small issue - on the bottom of the wing, where I have to fill and sand to remove the control surfaces, there's some fine raised detail that I don't want to sand.  Other than "be very bloody careful", does anyone have any suggestions for protecting this area?  I originally covered it with Tamiya tape to stop the filler from clogging it, but I find the tape makes it very difficult to get that last little bit of filler..
 

Just bought this today...it'll compliment my Duo Discus and LS8-t very nicely!

Hmmm....that's a thought..

Unfortunately, that's not an option....renting my house!

Got the fuselage together at last.
 

 
The wingspan on this thing is huge, even without the winglets attached!  Where am I going to put it when it's done?

@Kev...Music wire is incredibly strong.  At the diameter Eric is using, it's malleable enough, but at the same time, it would have taken a bit of effort to bend it.  I use similar diameter for pushrods on my .40-size R/C models with no problem.

Is that even possible??
 
Anyhow, having selected the right blue (from the *two* Vallejo blues I have..) I repainted the headrests, and began gluing stuff into the RH fuselage side.  Most went in ok, some I had trouble with, and I managed to bend the shafts on the yellow handles under the IPs.  The rear IP gave me a bit of trouble, so I'll glue that in after I close up the fuselage.  Such is life, I guess..
 
The sausage of blue-tac under the rear headrest is there to support it while the glue dries...there was only one point of contact for it!
