It's been five days since I posted anything, and once again everything has changed. When I saw how bare the kit was I became a little frustrated. Then, out of the blue, someone had a different kit of the same plane for a very good price. I quickly ordered it, and then started asking myself why I had done that. I have the parts to make a good model, and the second one wasn't necessary. Maybe it was the metal parts they advertised. More recently I realized that the plane did change over the year it was in use, and this was an opportunity to do both. So now this was going to be another two-for-one, or twofer as we call them.
Last night I got the tailplanes mounted and today the new one came. It's very different in the way it goes together. I'll be catching it up to the same point, and then finishing them side by side.
