Default Learjet 31A Build - Mark Frankel Design

Figured it would be of interest to start a thread on this subject. I've been working on a Learjet 31A project and working closely with Mark, the designer (he lives very close to me) has been an enjoyable experience. The model is taking shape slowly and I hope to have it ready to fly in primer this spring. Once flown I'll take the time to detail it out and paint it. Even though it will be powered with electrons, I think the subject matter is unique and may be of interest to members of the jet forum. We've been working closely to rework some of the original molds (this is a design from the late 80's) and Mark will be releasing new items in the near future. Included will be a fuselage with formers pre-installed, a nice time saver, as well as ensuring good nacelle alignment, etc.

I'll post more as I progress, but here's a few recent pics of my progress.
