Cool. I did a Spitfire a while ago and got as far as doping the skin before my wee girl got to it and tore the tail off. It now hangs from her ceiling sans tail but she likes it because the light shines through the unpainted paper and she can see the structure.
In truth it was a rough job, I've got another which I'll do better when I've got the time.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

So here is how far I got, what with work and "honey do" chores around the house...slow ( excuses, excuses)
I am trying to build a cockpit for this thing. Any ideas? The base is 3 X 4.3cm and the height along the back is 3.3cm.
yikes, this is an intense project!
Nothing a few brews can't conquer!!:)

I spent a ton of time looking for a 3 blade propeller and have not had much luck. I am planning on soon starting the papering and "doping" so I can try out the new airbrush I just got.
I think I found the cockpit solution from another scale modelling forum ( war birds).
It has been slow going, but dang! I have to get it right the first time.this is a time consuming project I need to finish so I can start on my B-36 Peacemaker..:)

As part of my many New Year's resolutions, I am finally going to get off my butt on this project.
here is the "mostly papered" fuselage, rudder and stabilizer. I left myself a "cheat hole" as I work on the cockpit.
As you can see, my trusty trooper is about to haul it off to it's next stage in the assembly line.:)
The wings happen next.

that looks awefully familliar, i had the same kit, i build entire skeleton, but didn,t close my door one day, and my dog destroed it, boy was i pissed, mine was rubber powered, the rubber that came with it wasn,t too strong thou, i remember when i build rubber powered planes when i was a kid, i used much more rubber strings. had to soak them in castor oil, before installing, still hate that smell."Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
