Thanking you Guy, Pete, Ian, Paul, Tommy, Bert &, Boots. Had a couple of medical issues over the last few days, but after a endoscopy, all is well. In the meantime, the extras for my 109 arrived Exhaust, gun barrels &, gunsight.

I feel for you. Endoscopies are a real pain in the arse!
Glad you’re alright though.

Thank you, Guy, Paul &, Tommy. I had the camera down the throat job. With a mouth as big as mine, that presented no problems. It’s all over in a couple of minutes. I glued the three wing sections together. I’ll clean the leading edge off, and touch up any little spots after it’s dried overnight. At least there’s no masking involved.

Nothing yet, Paul. That’s how they look after painting. It must be the way the light caught the iPad camera. I’ll be using gouache when the time comes

Gouache! Brilliant. I like the soft white shade at the wing undersides.

Thanking you, Guy, Ian, Tommy, Ian &, Boots. I done a dry run with the main bits & pieces. The kit may be coming up for 27 years old, but it goes together really well! I like to do this just to convince myself that I am making progress. I also find that when I look at a photo I’ve taken, I notice bits that are not quite right regarding any painting. Next step, I’ll make a start on the cockpit

Thank you, Paul. I need to touch up the leading edges where I glued the two halves together.

Thanking you, Guy & Ian. I made a start with the decals. The instrument panel, the foot straps & shoulder straps. Hopefully, I’ll get the other bits and pieces done in the next day or so.
