I'm still waiting on decals and some parts so I'll shelve the Sandringham

for this build.
So plan 'B' I'll be building a Junkers Ju-52 with the float option.

The kit has those lovely old word type instructions which helped learn so much about aircraft

The parts are fairly crisp with some ejector pin marks but nothing to major.

I will be finishing the kit as an Aircraft from IV Gruppe KGzbV.1 Balkans 1942 with a ESCI decal set

Started off with a coating of RLM66 on the interior and then began assembling the cockpit

The instrument panel is the old cut out from the instruction sheet and glue on.

Cockpit assembled sans pilots. The rear of the bulkhead will need some putty.

Small progress this week. Assembled the basic fuselage, am leaving the top off so I can put the windows in once I've painted the AC

Ayup Pete...

Tante Ju, looking good !

That interior looks like it's begging for some extra stuff in it though !

(can you tell i haven't got one ?)
