Beautiful work Adrian! Me thinks you may be a little OCD like me...such attention to detail and so clean and organized.

The Ace is moving again - the tail wing/elevator and tail were the main areas for construction. The fuselage moved to the paint shop for priming and smoothing and the spinner/ engine cowl also got its first coat. I then started doing some fitment/ alignment and things have turned out fairly well. The wings fit well and the next step will be to get the tail wing fitted and filled with a removable elevator as I am not sure how I will present the aircraft at the end! The landing flaps will be cut out of the wing as these may be dropped later and wings secured in place. Finally the wheel wells will be built on both wing undersides and the two wingtips completed. Onto the next job and hope you enjoy the update!

This is magic scratchbuilding, Adrian!
Keep the updates coming, my friend!

Many thanks Spiros, will do! Exciting when the all the work starts looking like an aircraft!

Thank you so much John, appreciate your kind words. You are also creating a spectacular Walrus!

Good morning Morne, many thanks for your kind words as always! I agree, the shape is beautiful but it sadly never made full time production and only 2 were constructed. A costly exercise!

Hi George, yes the project was started in late December and there have been a few hours put in but I must say that I really like the aircraft so it has been exciting! The Mirage F1 AZ, also in this iM Group has taken 3 years + but it is a beast with lots of detail! Thanks for dropping in and thanks for your interest!

This is such amazing job, my friend @adrianstarling.
It looks more and more like the real thing. Grey primed already looks nice and fine.
Looking forward to this fantastic project!
