The PC-21 arrived this morning. The pics below show the size in comparison to the large Skymaster Viperjet. It took about 10 minutes after getting it out of the box to have it sitting on its gear. I'll start a build thread in a couple of days.

Yep Bob, completely new scheme. I wasn't happy with the way it was coming out before so I decided to start from scratch. I had the authentic Seahawks colors mixed and started over. Over the weekend I'll take some photos of it and put them in the Viper build thread.

I started the PC-21 assembly with installing the front and rear cockpits on to the canopy frame. I started with removing the front instrument panel from the cockpit. The canopy needs to be slide forward to be removed so the instrument panel can't be installed in the canopy frame. It will installed into the fuse once the equipment installation has been completed. After removing the front instrument panel, the front and rear cockpits were trimmed to fit inside of the canopy frame. A 1/4 x 1/4 strip of spruce was glued to the edges of the cockpits and painted black. The cockpits were attached to the canopy frame screws going through the bottom of the canopy frame into the spruce blocks. The cockpits are removable by removing the screw.
The hinge flaps have been glued in place.
