Yeah, you'll probably kick my ass speedwise. :pp But I "should" still be able to get wrapped up inside the timeframe. I'm probably going to scratch some crude "boxes" to mimic the electronic gear & sonobuoy launcher, as the kit's interior is extremely sparse. But I don't plan on spending a lot of time on it as it will be built w/ the doors closed. But when the launcher takes up 1/4 of the cargo hold...and there is nothing there...well, we can do a little better than that. :laugh:
 
Well I am lucky this kit even has my pet hates included so I wont have to add any seatbelts this time but I must say I understand about adding something so obviously missing it will give me a better chance to kick your posterior :D
 
If you don't mind making this a threesome ( :blink that doesn't sound right), I'll give the "Angel of Shearwater" a shot.

And production is underway.

The cabin and flight deck with seat belts added, primed and ready for paint.

The tail boom needs a little "Canadianization". The bumps along the drive shaft cover will removed as well as the upper reinforcing rib. There are a couple of antennas to be added along the top side of the boom a little bit later in construction. And of course try not to break off the lower antenna and tail bumper.

A little bit of sanding and re-scribing of panel lines and the major work is done with just a little bit of filler to blend things in. And the antenna and bumper are still in place.

Time to stand down production for tonight.

Cheers,
