Peter, you won't have any either. It's a superb kit to put together.....
Yours is looking good.
One thing I noticed, I'm glad I paint my canopies freehand. I have neither the skill nor patience to do such an exercise as masking, so top marks to you.

Hi Pete
Really like your idea of doing wings and fuselage separately, it must make it much more manageable.
However, do you find any problems with the glue damaging the paint when you put it together?
Also what do you do about seam/joint problems?
Thanks.

I don't think I will have that problem due to the way they are fitted I will explain when I get there.

I have finished the fuselage I just need to seal the paintwork. 
And started painting the wings.
And started painting the wings.
Really nice. Interested to see how the wings look once fitted.

If I remember rightly, when I built mine, the wings slotted into the fuselage rather than the usual 'Butt' joint......

Started to mask the wings for the camouflage.

Wings and tail painted and attached and it's now looking like a lancaster.
