    And in order to work away from two wings it is two engines 🙂

    Do sign me up to follow this build too Allan!

    This is nice steady progress, Allan @kalamazoo.
    I understand you use Revell Plasto; are you happy with it? How does it behave in comparison with Squadron Green or Humbrol (the two ones I am familiar with it)?

    Little by little it is moving down the line.

    @kalamazoo, the Dragon may have two engines, but the mossie has four rows of cylinders and two more blades ! ———

    I agree, Allan (@kalamazoo), that is a neat trick for the landing lights.
