Nice start.

Had a few problems with this - one sprue seems to have aged badly & become very brittle - struts being the main problem.
The structure is delicate at the moment - hopefully, when I add the rigging, that will make it a little more rigid, but before that I'll have to add the basecoat between the upper & lower wing surfaces

Not good to hear that about the plastic. I have this to look forward (?) to when I get around to building mine.

Not had any benchtime on this, I've a couple of health issues at the moment. I can muster enough energy to use my computer, but not a lot left for anything else!

Hope you feel better Dave. I’d missed this for some reason and it’s looking good despite the problems.Not had any benchtime on this, I've a couple of health issues at the moment. I can muster enough energy to use my computer, but not a lot left for anything else!

I think that this will be a non-finisher

Bin it or put it in a box at the bottom of the stash. Your health and wellbeing is more important than a lot. Take care of yourself Dave.
