Never stopping amazing us with your superb and not that often seen entries, my friend @kalamazoo! Some steps already accomplished.
Looking forward to it!

Nice progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
How do you cut brass tube? I seem to destroy its edges upon cutting it.
Allan J Withers said 2 years, 4 months ago:

Thanks Spiros my friend, I use either a saw or roll it under a knife then file the ends and clean the inside with a drill or #11 blade.

Tube in for prop shaft, more clearance for cockpit tub, replacing resin nose gear well with plastic sheet, resin glued with super glue failed twice so it's gone !

Yep, sometimes resin does not want to cooperate, my friend @kalamazoo!
All looking great here!
