I have seen zippers before but not like that .
Must have been fun to open after the coat of dope.
Cool item Bob. That should look good when finished.
Cheers, Christian B)
Oh! That's what you're talking about.
Could have been worse, I think I was suppose to use the crescent shaped ones for the bird I"m building.
Gary you're more than welcome to chime in here.
Like to thank you again for getting those pictures, I'm going to upload them to the gallery tonight so all can see them. :drinks

Hummm, another detail for Bob to do. Shouldn't be too tough since they're already brass.

It does look grand, Bob. Just stay away from the alclad and every thing will be just right.
:facepalm
I will Paul, I'll also MASTER That damn scheme one day...

This is the upper wing. I had to drill out the hole for the support rod some as it was off center just a bit, maybe 1.5 mm, no big issue, I can fill it up with CA and when it cures it'll be solid as a rock.
Notice how tight the joint is.
Here's your earrings Warren.
You see my symmetry affliction showing here, can't get those to things to line up. Free lifetime membership to anyone who can guess what those are. 
Nice snug fit with the wing root. This is why I think I'm going to paint everything separate and assemble after painting.
Gary we were talking about the cresent shaped thing on the rudder.
It is the housing for the tail light. When looking at the picture I thought the black was spray paint or something, really threw me off.
And if you want to see more photos of the real thing click here

OK but I ain't weathering that shi....stuff. :facepalm
I'm thinking Flare ports. I know in the earlier birds they would rig flare dispensers for landing at night, make a pass over what they think is the field, drop a flare and light it up.

Sherman 18
Master at Arms
I have a 1/48 scale kit of this aircraft so watching your build is kinda sparking an interest in digging it out

Yeah Sherman I have the old Aurora kit which is supposed to be 1/48 as well. I doubt I would ever build it, but there is always a thought.
Bob, the build looks like it is going quite well for you! You are making me think really hard about building the He51B floatplane kit I have from Silver Wings. The slight warp on the floats and the fuselage I believe was due to ordering it in the middle of summer. Ugh!
