Nice work Wayne. You need to get hold of an old watch, bust it open and make a riveting tool from one of the gears.

Slow, laborious work, and nicely done Wayne.

 

[KoJo]

Great seam work! You did a nice job restoring those rivets!!

Cheers Fellas, thanks, ok exhausts are on the cowl and now drilled out, pic shows one drilled out....also wings are in place now, this was a pain as I had to remove a fair bit of plastic over the last couple of days along the wing root edges to get the right dihedral, initial fit had them almost straight! So sand, dry fit sand dry fit.....

cheers fellas....

keeping on with them rivets and panel lines...lower fuselage on the wing area, had a fair bit of blending on the fuselage to wing join but superglue and a file soon sorted out the step I started with!

Also filled and sanded the edges on the lower forward fuselage where the wings meet too!

provided i get done with fixing the continuity of rivets all over the place should have this assembled by next weekend!
