Well, I got the old saw and scalpel out today,
gave it a shave, attached the ailerons, rudder but have to do some work on the port side flap.
It's been damaged and extended.
The engines are just set in place unglued.

Sorry about your back. I know that feeling!

I just noticed that the dropped flaps don't include the inner ones. between the fuselage and nacelles. I assume you are attributing this to some sort of damage. Looks good though.

Yes sir, bullets did it.
Couldn't come up with a way to twist it up.

Underside got painted today,
along with the GB43 Spit.
Taping for the first color soon.
Will have it finished before the end of the month.

I thought I would make a post of one of my mad methods of masking.
I do have Corel on my laptop and use it often.
I've added captions, hoping it makes sense to someone just starting!
