MacRobertson Air Race Line up

Just doing some reading and found I was only 16 miles from the De Havilland Aircraft Museum when I was over there. 
Sorry, thought I got better pictures but the fuselage to wing root fit is just off the hook.
Try this type of dry fit on your next resin kit.
I got to get my dual build game up to speed and get the second kit this far along. Crazy getting my head in here. Spent 15 minutes looking for the rear bulkhead only to find it already installed on the fuselage half.

Looking good Bob!
It'll be buried soon.
Feel pretty good about this dry fit. just wasn't ready to commit to CA yet. Feels a bit tight on the pilot IP. Maybe tomorrow i'll be brave.
Hey it's a pair of 88s! or is it 4 8s? No Pair of 88s.
Had the back seat IP pop out when I got everything put together on one of them. Spent 30 minutes last night trying to muscle it in and it wouldn't go. Got back at it this afternoon and it took 2 seconds.
I gotta get the GEE BEE up to speed now.

Can you imagine flying to the other side of the world in this thing?
Details are crisp but perhaps not as abundant as the DH88s, very basic cockpit and it looks like the provisioned for more details around the throttle quadrant or i'm missing some parts. The engine will be detailed enough under the cowl, no sir Eric, I'm not opening cowls on this. I'm inspired by the photo, not copying it.

All of our dreams ain't it?
That would be neat of these kits were plentiful.

Double the pleasure, double the fun. Gary S.
Wings and tail plane fixed.
I gotta get in there and clean up around the root and back of the firewall. Landing pants and engine are just dry fitted. There's a lot more clean up to do than you would on a Tamiya kit but for a resin kit this thing sure is fitting snug!

I know it looks like the last photo but this is glued together. Got some details behind the engine to build up but shouldn't take long. So then we'll start priming the GEE Bee. I got to get the Comets up to speed so I can prime all 3 at the same time.
I'm probably spending more time on the seams than necessary but I'm trying to make sure they are pin lite proof.
I'm getting the canopies sealed up with Future then mask. Once I have them fitted I'll get some primer on and see how those seams look.
Most of my time has been invested in cleaning up some bad underside seams and masking the bird cage canopy.
I'm about ready for some primer.

My Mr Surfacer 500 is done for.
Still working on those pesky spine seams. I have some Archer transfers for panels and inspection ports that I used on my previous Comets for the fuel ports. I'll add them as soon as I get the seams hidden.
