I promised the Shack would return in 2018 and she has albeit as a different version - the AEW.2.

 

The build so far, is pretty much the same as the MR.2 version I built last year and so far easier the second time around (I guess).

 

The photo's are pretty self explainatory, so I won't go into to much detail - unless I have to.

 

Basic cockpit assembled

Using the fuselage halves as a jig to ensure fit and alignment

Console assembly painted & installed along with the various partitions (frames) - I used the fuselage to ensure everything was in the right place.

*However I managed to hit a snag, the seat base for the front observer/ bomb aimer went missing - so I had scratch build a new one.

That's all for now
