Time to fit the undercarriage

Once again very straightforward but I did replace the main wheels with weighted resin replacements and filed a flat on the tail wheel. The pitot tube was replaced with a piece of hypodermic needle and the bomb sway braces were fitted, I didn’t want to fit the bombs as they wouldn’t look right fitted with the engine exposed.

Final job was to give everything another coat of matt varnish, remove all the masking and fit the canopy in place and that was it done.
