Just caught up again coming along nicely but just one thing I have got my undercarriage on and It is rather on the weak side so you might want to invest in some after market metal ones

thank's peter , have heard that , and I will look into it , airfix plastic is pretty soft , I did a dry fit of the fuselage to the wings , as I have heard of some very bad fit issue's on other builds , I did have to cut out an alignment lug , but everything else seem's to be going together alright , did you glue your two halves together first peter or did you follow the the instructions , half at a time .
