Trumpeter Vickers Wellington Mk X – Progress report – Step 11

Moving along with step 11 and keeping my expectations to a minimum after fumbling step 8, and strictly following the instructions to the letter whenever possible.

Step 11a

 

 

Step 11b

I took some photos to show you where I am at right now after glueing the starboard wing…

The pitot tube, which I will eventually break and lose, was added. The fuel jettison pipe was glued after.

The only problem I had encountered was the location of the exhaust pipe.

Step 11b (2)

I should have looked for photos on the Internet first.

But in the end I was lucky…just a few millimeters off.

I have added the landing gear doors and the air filter to complete the starboard wing.

    Great progress – I’ve never built a Trumpeter kit but it looks to be well detailed.

      Too many little pieces making it hard to build sometimes.
