The box is smaller than I thought.

Gimme them old-timey sprues any time!

A quick tape job to figure out which way the wings go on. They have a weird downward swoop so I thought I had them on backwards.

Some panel line scribing needed to be done. I hate raised panel lines...

I drilled some holes in the wing to feed the wires through to the fuselage.

Engines drilled out and replaced, motors mounted.

Checking the wiring for power... red light on!

Engines seated, but I'll wait to put them in to give the CA glue time to off-gas first.

A bit of nose remodelling to make it an "H" and a tiny bit of scratchbuilt cockpit.

Let's test the props...

...and YES! We have spin!

This is an old kit, so putty and sanding was always going to be needed.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/6/0/9/721609-26441-36-720.jpg)
Lots of sanding, and still a bit more needed I think.

Pilots in place... ready for takeoff!
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/3/3/725833-26441-42-720.jpg)
First coat of aluminium on.

Some sky blue accents. Accidentally broke the tail off, but that can be fixed easily enough.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/9/7/8/725978-26441-69-720.jpg)
Red tail painted.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/2/5/729825-26441-58-720.jpg)
Decals and propellers on. Can you tell that the left side fuselage marking is different than all the others? Stupid thumb...
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/8/2/6/729826-26441-54-720.jpg)
Just a few touch ups, a radio wire to string and a base to finish... but this one's in the books.
