Not much done today apart from some interior green paint.

I had to sit in the house for hours while a technician connected up the internet connection (fibre to the premises) that we were promised by the government 10 years ago but never got and still don't get unless you specifically request it.
And to cap it all it doesn't work as the ISP haven't turned it on yet at their end.   :banghead:

Interweb now working.

Cockpit painted and then shoved inside the fuselage.  Fuselage closed up.  Tail sawed off.

It looks kinda sharky.  That might influence the paint scheme.  Next job is to cut slots for the wing locating tabs.

This looks better with each picture!
I can't wait to see what you do with the Mohawk fuselage.

Current thinking is to use a lot less fuselage than you did when you built your Mohawk Helicopter.
Possibly cut just behind the cockpit, knock up an engine/gearbox unit from Apache parts, and scratchbuild an open trellis tailboom.

Your idea for the tail boom sounds challenging but awesome!

You're tempting me with this project! Too bad I cut up the rest of the Mohawk parts when I made the chopper.
