Nice work Derek.  Not sure whether you have done this already, but if you frost the Led bulb with sandpaper it defuses the light as oppose to all the brightness at the end. Mark

Hi Derek, You wouldn't beleive it but i saw one of these planes in the flesh at the weekend . We were flying out from Doncaster Airport and there was one sat on the apron. IT@S HUGE! The handlers were saying that, considering the size, the plane's got an extremely short take-off distance. Loving the build so far, by the way  Regards Gray

Many thanks for all the positive comments, they are really appreciated. A small update as per the pics attached: The main undercarriage sections are in place. Cockpit interior fitted. Rear roof loading winches in place. Two pics of the required counterbalance weight required for the kneel down version that`s being built here. (Thanks to a local tyre shop for the FOC weights) Finally the start of the engines. To come in the next update: Finalise the lighting and fit the fuselage outer skin. Till then, happy building.

Nice update. Looking at the cockpit against the size of the body, that’s a big beast. Mark

Thanks to all for your comments. Due to recent temperatures this update includes very little paintwork. I`ve finalised the lighting so fixed the upper and lower wing sections together and done a dry fit to the fuselage that was only tapped in place and it all looks like a really good fit. Followed on by making up the engines and other wing details that are now awaiting the full paint job. More soon.

Small update for this one. The fuselage has now been assembled and primed. I`ve also primed the wings, tail fins and nose setion. I`ve not fixed the wings, tail fins to the fuselage yet and the nose section will be raised to show the cargo deck. I`m know in the process of getting all the wheels done. All 24 of them.  More soon, Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
