Getting back on track
Encouraged I now get going with the Eduard P51
She-who-must-be-obeyed asked me yesterday how things were with her Mustang. I had to admit it had been parked against the wall, and was not at present in the in-progress rythm. She looked at me. And so it came back on the bench.

1. Now, why these are clear I do not know - after all the lens cannot be seen when all is assembled.
I started by assembling the PE IP (Photoetched Instrumentpanel). Eduard was kind enough to include extra handles for everything, and two of them were needed
Next they wanted me to install the IP and get on with the fuselage. No way – I anticipated a lot of tears if I did not protect the IP etc, and placed the windscreen where it is supposed to go. Having read the instructions once again, I noted they wanted a manual sight.
Well – long story short, it was impossible for me to find space for it – I crushed the outer ring and scratched the glass in the process.
And so it got left out, and I polished the inside of the windscreen as best I could.
-
1. Replaced the awful glass with a new piece from a sheet og clear

1. Polished - need to remove a few cotton strings still inside
I know this is a Profi Pack, but there are such an abundance of small parts to add – VERY small parts!
Oh, well, it will all come together nicely in the end, and with a few more items to install before primer, it is back to the bench for more happy-time with sharp objects, miniscule parts and a lot of sniffing glue. Yeah.
next up just might be when ready for primer – be sure to tune in, and feel free to leave a comment or two
