The Little World

I started this kit with some misgivings but they are rapidly evaporating.

The only flaw I have detected so far is the loss of two engine fans. Whether they were wrenched off by the previous owner or never cast is unknown – I have just had to search the spares box and make up a solution. The front fans are seen but the back ones are supposedly buried in the giant engine housings.

The windows will be blackouts, as will the cockpit windscreen. This is somewhat of a convention in this small size and it doesn’t bother me at all.

The wooden block epoxied into the wing centre box is going to receive a steel rod as part of a desk stand. No wheels on this one – it will be flying.

And look at the dry fit – nearly perfect. I am terrifically impressed with the degree of precision here.
