This 17 yr old has a need to be around me so I can't be at the bench as much as like...
But I can let you know what will replace the Dornier Do 24 T on the bench....

No, not ditchin this one. I will work on the wings today maybe the PE parts too, with some luck work a bit on the Merkava too.

He's is a grand companion John  . It's much the same with my Tigger, she's always around the room where I am, and when she thinks I've done enough bench time she lets know it  The MiG will be an awesome carry on after this build too

Engines, Wings and PE   
After doing all this, I noticed that I made a mistake, the large PE strip had to be bend, maybe 0.8mm or 1mm on each side. See instructions step on the previous post... anyway since I glued it with CA glue, I'll leave it like that.

Since I bought that Mig-17 I've been itching to start it.. If all goes as planned... maybe next week
