Welcome @Markus; let's see how I can manage the symmetry of the plane - the part are not perfectly molded and the joints are minimal

Yes so I´ve heard. Especially trouble with connecting the wings to the fusalage so they wont risk breaking off. There is a film on youtube where they fix the problem Ill have a look if i can find it.

Yes, please do let me know; I will try to do all the work on the wings before attaching them; I also worry about the symmetry... I'll try to make a jig to ensure this...

@David, this is a typical Special Hobby, so some filling and sanding is required; not too bad though, and the clear part fit surprisingly well; the proof of the pudding will be, next, the joining of the wings to the fuselage, let's see how that goes...

Yes, @Ben, a lot indeed - I think this is, by far, the most "windowed" plane I have ever built! 😄

Following with great interest! I paused mine a while ago after fitting the wings.

Welcome @Melgg - I'm currently waiting for the floats, which are being used to make a beaching trolley. The wings did take a LOT of putty and sanding. 😓

Yes @Skywalker, bigger than I thought when I started it; lots bangs in the desktop lamp when I'm painting it!!! 😄

Nice progress Ricardo. I like your salt effect, and appreciate the chipped paint testing. Have you tried to chip a lacguer-thinned paint?

Thank you @Alec; I have previously tried to chip MRP paints and it was almost impossible; I have subsequently read about this and apparently lacquer based paints (or Tamiya thinned with Lacquer Thinner) are very, very hard to chip

You are putting a lot of effort in this model and it is showing off your hard work.

Thank you very much @mates, your kind comments give me additional motivation; almost there, moving now to closing the beaching trolley and to the washes; then oils and, hopefully, build should be finished in the next couple of weeks

The perspective created by photograph number 81 shows off the sheer size and detail that you have put into this project. Very nice.

Thank you mates - the final steps are quite difficult and reveal some missalignement of the floats, which were not noticeable until now; furthermore the wheel placement is not that great, so I spent a long time glueing and unglueing everything with Ultra Glue; I do not know how I would cope if I was using CA glue....

(img 84) talking about inching it looks that a lack of inches in the workbench is becoming quite noticeable......cheers Ric 😁
