Nose blended nicely to the fuselage, my friend @grimreaper! Engines are coming together nicely!
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Nice and smooth indeed, Reinhard @grimreaper
Those engines do look great already.
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 1 year, 6 months ago:

well, the wingspan is wider than expected...now where to put the model when it´s finished... 😀

slowly getting the engines ready to install

Very nice engines, Reinhard @grimreaper.
Storing all those models seem to be a problem everywhere. With wingspan, in most cases, the limiting factor.

Nice progress indeed, my friend @grimreaper!
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 1 year, 6 months ago:

almost looking like an Invader now
added engine nacelles, ailerons flaps
tailplane mostly done
(mounted the early canopy for now as cover for the upcoming painting stage)

took the wheels from a Revell Invader because the ICM kit comes with the wrong wheels and tread for this aircraft

Looking great, my friend @grimreaper!
Nice usage of the Revell wheels!

Very nice progress, Reinhard @grimreaper
