So the scaffolding has now all gone as the panels, beading and windows are all completed on the upper deck. Work has then been of finishing the fuel system, the front bulkhead, mud guard area and the canopy.
As can be seen from this angle the near completed front area has really taken on the look of an RT and I know that the team will be glad this part is finished as the great looking curves are pleasing on the eye but awfully hard to recreate properly!
And as mentioned the last parts of the fuel system have been put in place along with the last parts of the front bulkhead.
Next month will see us finish a few parts of framework that for some reason beyond us do not feature on the drawings of the time, and then start the panelling up process and fitting of window pans and glass. All things being equal next month should be another good visual step forwards
Cheers for now

Looking Good!
I've been following the 'Blog' for quite a while now and it's great to see RT8 finally taking its shape after everyones hard work.
I'm very much looking forward to the day we all get to see it 'in the flesh', a day that doesn't seem that far away now.
Well done and thanks, Jon
Wow. I found the blog this morning and spent an hour reading from the start. It's great to see that you are doing a fantastic job and I look forward to seeing this on the road.
