The airframe glued together and after initial filing. Looks better than I have expected.

I'm glad that the underside is almost perfect, some filler and some inserts were necessary, but nothing of a "mission impossible" kind.

 

Hope you like it too :)

Looks good to me, I didn’t realise that you could insert the tailwheel bay/strut after joining the fuselage. That’s something worth remembering, as I am prone to knocking off sticky-out bits.

That's quite easy, only thing you need to do is to make slots for the wall.

Not glued yet - have to paint it all inside first. 

 

Thanks for watching, and for comments, Mates :)

Meanwhile, the tail unit installed, there were some issues with the vertical stabilizer and the rudder, the fit is poor and some adjustments were necessary - it's not perfect now, but I can live with it.

As you can see, have changed my decision regarding the pilot's seat.

The Eduard's one is a bit smaller so in the end I gave a chance the one from the box. Of course,  had to thin the "tin", add a piece at the backrest and seat connection, seat-belts and ... voila. Not perfect, that's just me... but I will leave it so. The canopy will be closed anyway ;).

A little more filing... and the exhausts. Frankly, I do not know if its alright... 
The worst thing is that I have no good photographs of the exhausts, and the plans - each one shows them differently.

I will probably drill them and leave as it is. Maybe SH knew how it should look like.
