Good evening, Looking to widen the collection of "Suez" aircraft we now have a French connetion. As ever we start with the office.
Not much visible when closed up but there you go. Awaiting delivery of a seat harness set before closing for good.

Very nice start of another black and yellow striped plane 👍 or will this one be without those stripes?

Do you like the kit, Tim? I might need a Dash-7 to go with my AU-1.

The kit is not bad at all. Demands a degree of building experiance, but nothing a man of your caliber could not overcome. Unlike us mere mortals

Bit of wing work done, and pleased with the outcome. Belts due to arrive tomorrow, will then be able to button up the fuselage and move this on. Tim

As the title suggests, harness arrived and installed. Engine built and painted.
Fuselage joined.
Quick look inside the cockpit.
Now where did I put that engine?
Are there it is! At least I know it was painted etc.
More soon, all comments etc welcome. Tim

Wow! Beautiful work on that R-2800! I like how they include the entire exhaust array.
