@gblair, thank you, George. Simple but very effective.

Hi John @johnb, when I saw that Spiros @fiveten loved your jig I thought that you had taken up Irish folk dancing, now I see what he meant, very ingenious.

@chinesegeorge, thank you, George. No Irish folk dancing for me 😉 After I glued the wings I noticed that they needed to dry with a bit of tension. A quick search around the bench resulted in the shown construction, not very ingenenious I would say.

It is rather strange that they left the wheelbay this open, but a few pieces of plastic seem to do the trick.

@airbum, rhanks, Erik. Indeed, I was also surprised that such a huge gape was not taken care of by Heller.
@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros.

Since I was not fully happy with closing up the wheel bay, I did another try. Looks a bit smoother now to my own opinion.

Together with the kit, Erik @airbum, provided four engine replacements. Much more detailed as the original ones and having two rows of cylinders. After glueing them together with CA, I gave them a black wash.

All four finished do look like this.

The canopy fits excellent. connection to the fuselage is very smooth.

At 10 gram each it will help a bit, Erik @airbum. A lot of weight, not sure how much, has already been added to the nose of the aircraft and behind the cockpit.

Great job on blanking the empty nose bay, my friend @johnb! Great job on those engines, too!
