In part one we look at the cockpit assembly and three part front fuselage as well as making a seamless join from the wings to the fuselage.

 

In Part two we cover the main fuselarge assembly and showing how to make a seamless finish on the tricky air intakes.

 

In part three we fix the forward fuselage, fix in place the clear parts with Gator glue, install the flaps and ailerons and get the models ready for painting.

 

In part four we start on the paintwork and talk about pre-shading and the light ghost grey.

 

In part five, we go through all the painting and masking ready for decaling

 

In the last part we bring the whole thing together, Picking out the little details like the red around the doors, Nav lights, etc and then the reveal.
