Great work

Regarding the spine seam, I would leave this as subtle as possible as they were not very pronounced.

 

[Wildsau]

I have just put the wings on dry fit and was checking for gaps along the wing root. There's is a small gap. I also want to check the dihedral see pic and this closed the gap but I'm not sure about the wing angle what do you guys think?



It's too much to me.

Yes sure I was doing some more research and took note that the rivets aren't pronounced either.

The wing dihedral was of 6.53°. The one for your model seems to be too big. Just my opinion.

I agree the dihedral looks too much. Either the gap needs to be filled or the fuselage made wider with a strut or two. That might not be possible if the cockpit tub is glued in securely.

Always a good idea to only fix your cockpit assembly to one side of the fuselage for such a situation....then you have options to get the best fix.

 

[Wildsau]

Yeah I'll just fill in the seams. I'll see what it looks like and tweak it I'm probably over thinking this.

I just found out about and used that method on my Spitfire

Nice!

A few more bits done, wings, undercarriage and wheel wells painted and weathered oil cooler in some minor touch ups on fuselage. Dry fit wings and looking good so far.

Nice

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

 

[Wildsau]

Hello Everyone finally put together and primed, using black on top and grey on the underside. I wanted to use these colours as a contrast base especially as the underside is black wouldn't be any fun painting that with a black primer.. anyway thus is it so far. Thanks for looking.
