Do-17 Fuselage halves closed
Here are some pictures of the cockpit with the fuselage halves closed. The “reading the seams” thread in the beginners section of the forums is a great education as to how cement is actually supposed to work as opposed to how I’ve been using it.
Spent an hour or so last night cleaning up the the seams on the fuselage and engines, then fitted the wings.
No locater pins on the fuselage or the wings but after lots of test fitting it went together very nicely. Will need a little filler around the wings but otherwise looks passable. Far easier than the old sb6 and i-153 kits I’ve made recently, they had massive steps.
Next, clean up the wings fit the canopies and apply masking to all that glass, hmmm wonder if there are commercial masks for this? oh yes! eduard do one. Ooh and Extratech do PE flaps too. Tempting… need to find a site that does both, or maybe the local shop might piggyback them on their next order.

Scotland to Italy
I took myself off for four weeks on my bike. My only restriction was I had to get back to Belgium to get the ferry home. I went down to Italy rode the bike through the Swiss and Italian Alps, down into the Black Forest. Had the motorbike stolen damaged and repaired. Met some wonderful generous and hospitable people and some very unhelpful people too. In the end I took an extra week anyway.
In fact I’m enjoyed that freedom so much most of my trips end out like this now.
See more progress on: go on a road trip with no predetermined destination

Chooks
Hannah, our nieghbour and the girl that runs Emmet’s nursey has just got two chickens. Now I have something to trade my veggies for! Next in the garden will have to be flowers for cut flowers as their trading value, or brownie points value is so much higher.
Also dug a flower bed in the back garden and planted some herbaecous plants in it, that Michelle picked in the garden centre. It gives us a start but I want to get the rest for free.
Joined Eurozone gym on Monday, so for the next three years I’ll be getting fit and happy.
