thanks for the comments everybody. On with the 2nd wing tonight which will finish up the airframe. I think things will slow down then as I will have to figure out how I am going to attach all the sections together and start fitting all the stringers.

couldn't help have a bit play and put all the sections together. doing so has revealed a miss alignment in the centre section which needs sorting out before I go any further. as the alignment is too large to sand from one end I will align the centre point and take a small amount of material from each end. I have also bought the haynes manual for the DC3, going through the manual I am now thinking do I build the model as per the instructions as a streamline sleek icon or do I add details such as the small moving sections in the rudder and elevator and the inspections hatches.

Wow,  This brings back memories.   Misalignment issue is easily corrected as you say, just adjust carefully a bit at a time and all should be fine. Might need a bigger work table soon.  Keep up the good work Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

progress is slowing right down at the moment as I do research and decide what I want to do with the model. one thing is to replace the wing tip lights with something a bit more accurate. I have had a bit play and come up with this. Bazholding attached the following image(s): Current builds: HMS Victory, hachette black pearl, DC-3, R2-D2, Millennium Falcon

Like the way you`re looking at this one. Have attached a couple of pics that may help. (A military version, though I should think the nav lights should be the same. Happy building Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Looking good Barry, like your attention to detail on the wingtip lights, I'm sure that'll work very well and nice work on the straightening of the fuselage.
Well done, excellent work all round!
