Interior almost done. Built OOB apart from the addition of some leavers. Had to replace some of the PE seat harnesses as the broke. The halves just won’t meet at all so as seen I had to shave off quite a bit of the right side of the cockpit floor

Some further progress made. I had to file off some of the inside wings inserts to allow them to fit snug on one side.
The halves are joined and will take some pictures once the tape is off, but by the looks of things has big gaps that will require buckets of filler

Engine and engine cowling done, now fitting them is another story. Will have to file off the top of the bulkheads in order to fit inside the cowling.

Had to shave off quite a bit but now the engine fits inside the cowling. The instructions advise to close the cowling around the engine as the rear of the cowling bends inwards and it hard to fit it in after, but parts of the cowling would never meet on mine leaving quite a gap so had to do it this was leaving one panel not glued in order to fir the engine in.

Thanks guys! @Transall not a great kit. Needs to be treated as a limited run, also needs loads of adjustments and filler.

Very good result from an obviously demanding base.

@ Sebastian Peter. Like their Lysander i have built, for a friend, and the Pilatus a friend is building right now. Nevertheless, those kits look very nice when properly built : for experienced builders only ! 😉) Yet, i bought another Lysander for me, it must have some qualities... -🙂 One can only regret that slats are not separated : it should have been logical as flaps are separate parts.
Regards.

Album info

This one looks like a tricky one deserving of a blog. So I’ll add some progress photos.
Couldn’t really find a lot of info on Dora Wings kits, but form the early stages of the build surely feels like a limited run kit.
