OldScaleGuy, welcome. Maybe your interest will be renewed enough for you to seek out another kit on E-bay?

This morning I started to glue on the bottom formers (F-1B, F-2B, F-3B, F-4B and F-5B) to the main frame. I suppose there many ways to accomplish this but this is the method that I used. I have a piece of machined steel approximately 2 1/2" x 10" x 1 1/2" thick which I use quite often during building. Had it for so long I don't remember where I got it from. By butting up each Former to this piece I am assured that each Former is glued up at exactly 90 degrees to the main frame. I let the glue set-up for 20 minutes before I move on to the next Former. Slow but it works great, anyway who's in a rush were suppost to enjoy the journey!
