I know what to expect.

I have decided to stop procrastinating and start this new project right away.

I proceeded with step 1 and glued all the small windows.

A closer look…

They are pretty tricky.

I glued the tail turret bulkhead and clamped the fuselage halves to insure a proper alignment.

Then came the fuselage bulkheads assembly.

Again clamping the fuselage halves for proper alignment.

The cockpit assembly came next.

Instructions for positioning the Norden were vague.

I did lots of dry fitting to make sure the fuselage halves would fit right.

I then proceeded with more steps.

The elevators…

The nacelles were hard to assemble and I had to spend quite a long time figuring how to glue them so they would fit properly later on.

Remembering how terrible the fit is according to Plane Dave, I took the time to assemble them.

I sure am looking forward for the next steps.
