12July 17, 2024AVI fuselage ready for closing
13August 9, 2024As for the Airfix stabilisers - this has to do the job
14August 9, 2024Started the AVI greenhouse
15August 9, 2024Greenhouse completed + wings + tail (there some putty was needed)
16August 9, 2024The AVI landing gear is simply hideous, so I decided to copy the AirWaves struts
