Many thanks Marco, Boots, Ian &, Pete. I've made a start on the front end. Everything fits together really well as you might expect with Tamiya. Next up, the steering wheel and cabin roof

Thank you Pete &, Jeff. I assembled the fuel tank as much as possible. The forward bulkhead has been left off while I paint the main tank section. I can then fit the fuel hose drums in position once I've assembled them, then the forward bulkhead can be stuck in place. This is deviating from the instructions a bit, but should make painting easier. The bottom photo shows the parts for the hoses and drums. The hoses are made up from a length of wire that passes through a vinyl tube.

Have fun Joe and stay safe fella  Thank you Paul. It's a little cottage out in the sticks with a massive garden to meet up in. When we were down in October, a big old A400m was flying about doing circuits over Culdrose air station. I've got a couple of figures to paint for when it rains.
