The top wing is installed - what a fight that was trying to line up with the spars and glue them - it is covered, rigged and painted.
Next step is the undercarriage

The magazines for the guns, the oil and fuel tanks are installed. The fuel tank was huge struggle as in order to fit it I had to file away quite two quite big areas on the underside to accommodate the legs on the firewall mount. I got there in the end. The firewall is held on by four 0.5mm bolts theoretically with nuts on. There is no way on this planet I could get the nuts on so I just had to cheat and glue them. They would be very hard to see anyway.
Basically the fuselage is now done except for 'wood' panels to go on the sides - they are made of metal but have to be disguised as wood. This depends on whether I cover half or not which is where I need your help viewers !
Otherwise the next stage is to start on the lower wing.

And finally, finally, I didn't like the stand much. It was too low and so now we have the dogfight from the ceiling !!

Some advice please viewers.
The undercarriage on this plane was formed like a forth wing. On the model it is made of ribs like a wing and thin covered with very thin sheet metal.
In view of the fact that I am half covering this model should I have cover this as well or do it all as per the pictures on the box ?

Add some more banking, so they look like they're turning into each other. That would be a dogfight.
