OK, so inbetween ing with the puma I also dabbled with the Mirage a bit. The Fuse is joined


But I ran into a hassle with the bottom of the front wheelwell not joining up nicely with the wing/bottom fuse section. There is a gap to the rear part of about 1mm or so and I can't cut the assembly free from the cockpit to make it seat bettet so I had to glue on plastic and witll have to shape it to mate with the bottom fuse.

I am amazed how much more rotor wing GB is popular

The Mirage is now looking like a plane (almost) I took allot of care with the wing to fuse joints as they are so long. Still there was a gap in the top wingroot that I needed to fill with some glue and stretched sprue.
