Pack 1 So the fun has begun! Pack 1 is well underway and if this is representative of the rest of the kit, it will be a joy to build. The fitting of the stringers was quite 'fiddley' as some of you chaps would say.  I apologize for the lack of pics. For some reason, my Galaxy S7 is dropping photos from it's gallery. I need to figure out a better way to take pics. I'm finishing off the various sub-assemblies as I wait for a shipment of paint to arrive. It would be very convenient if the paints for each Pack were included with the parts, but alas, I don't suppose that will ever happen. Anyway here are pics I have so far. Comments and advice is always welcome. Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

Looks like you are off to a great start. As for the stringers you will get plenty of practice and it gets easier the more you do. Keep up the good work and if you come across a problem just ask.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am working on the center console now. Lost my first tiny part. One of the yellow handled levers decided to jump out of my tweezers and disappear. I'm sure it won't be the last lost part I will need to fabricate. Mark Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

So I have finished all of the sub-assemblies and details of Pack 1. I am waiting to finish the seats and final assembly until I get the brown paint needed for the pilot's seats. I will not be painting the propeller until I can do both of them at the same time. Thanks for watching.

Step 51Installed the fire extinguisher between the seats. Step 52Fitted and glued the center console in place. Step 54Installed the 2 joysticks. Step 56Install the 2 control levers between the seats. This finally completes Pack 1. Thanks for watching. Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500
