Evening all,
Have been a lurker on here for a few years but not really posted so thought I would put some pics up of this mk1,
On the jig ready for some surgery,

Wing and doors off,

Working through the layers!


Full length strut top trial fit,

Inner wing trimmed up,

Plenty more to come, thanks for looking,
Cheers,
James
