Well the rest of the build has progressed smoothly and quickly.
The rigging was done using Ezline elastic attached to Bob's Buckles 1/32 scale buckles - these are very finely done and were kindly donated by Bob at no charge - as always, I can highly recommend Bob's products!
Once the top wing and undercarriage was on and rigged, all that was left to do construction wise was to add the exhausts and radiator pipes. The kit exhaust has a number of large sink marks that require filling. I also hollowed out the end of the exhaust. The radiator pipes were scratch built from solder as the kit parts would not fit (as they are designed for the centrally mounted radiator of the kit). A final dash of weathering, a clear coat, and the addition of the windscreen, and she was done!
So, here are some pics of the finished product:
