Nice to see one of these in the campaign. I was thinking about doing one myself but I'm still undecided about what to go for.
Good luck with your build.

Your cockpit looks great! Did you add the seat pad or is it molded on?

Thank you!
The seat pad was molded in, I painted it a dark brown.

The wings have given me a good fight!
Twice I have glued on the top wing and the struts have not made for a stable wing.
To fix the problem I have flattened 0.02" dia brass rod to make the struts and now all is stable!
Next up some primer.
