well done.

Great save J ! It's a sod when this sort of thing happens, but you seem to have it under control.

Thanks guys! Working it into a smooth surface is coming along nicely, albeit slowly. I have some milli-put epoxy putty in place now to do the real 'reshaping' of the area's where I've been sanding heavily

Progress on my 110 has slowed down as of late (since the whole fuselage operation anyway) but a few things have been done the last couple of days.

Lots of boring filling/sanding/filling/sanding/rescribing on the aft section of the fuselage, but it's looking OK by now (although I wish I could undo it all and look more careful into the problem and tackle it at some earlier stage) The dinghy part needs some work though. Not sure if it'll be enough, but a primer coat of sorts should reveal what still needs to be done.

Started work on the wings too. Underwing radiators/oil-coolers have been glued together as well as de basic gearbays.

A little dryfitting (no pic of that included) on the nacelles shows a pretty good fit, but it's a bit of a flimsy construction and instructions are a mess when it comes to glueing certain parts in the right place) I fear some filling on the nacelles will be needed, but it's nowhere near as bad as the nacelles on the Eduard kit. A few minor ridges and tiny gaps.

Looks great. The wheel well detail provided by the kit looks pretty good.

@ Crimea_River
Very true. If they be put on the receiving end of the oilpaint treatment the details should pop uit nicely.

 

[Gerry]

Coming along very nicely. You've got the competition (me) very worried!

@ Gerry
If I continue at this pace I'll disqualify for not finishing in time

Looking good Jelmer. I like the repair done to the tail section.

Nice work mate! God that fill/sand/fill routine is SO familiar...

(Love the detail in the wells too...)

 

[Catch22]

Nice work!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice bit of work Jelmer, I'm none to keen on the fill, file, fill bit myself it's always a bit of a progress stopper. Like the wheel well detail, means I did my Moskito wells correctly without references.

looking good!
