internal walls/baffles,divider,what ever there called permanently fitted.all lines up perfect to match the top half when its fitted.engine mounts nice and snug in place.forward fuselage and wheel bay all nice fitting.the intakes were a hassle and not much fun but its coming alone well.just waiting for the trumpy growler to arrive so the second cockpit can be fitted to this puppy.

hey guys.been awhile.not much done but had a hell of a time joining the rear section to the main airframe.

did not want to comply so drastic measures were taken.

up till this point the fit of the kit has been very good,but not this part.

Looking really nice,

If you can be bothered, RAAF Supers have black seat covers(not green), but your seats are looking very nice all the same,

cheers,

Pappy
