Looking brilliant as usual Ian. One thing though, what are the yellow tabs on the fuselage?? Are these some kind of new avionics panels or what?? :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Some progress today whilst Missy was at nursery.







A couple of self-explanatory cockpit shots before the fuselage was sealed-up.









Here it is all buttoned up. I always run a wash into the panel lines before major construction, to aid rescribing lost detail when it's sanded and filled later.





As you can see, I'm going for an asymetric loadout - pylons just pushed into place for the photo - The inner wing pylons have been 'adapted' to carry British pattern tandem stores panniers. NO I WONT tell you about the loadout.... well not yet anyways !

All the lumpy bits added now, so off to the paint shed, next.







I'll start a separate thread for the paint job, as its going to be complex !
