Update on the last few days of work
I've been doing a lot of assembling, filing and sanding.
Glued on the vertical fin and rudder. Again a lot of work the get it smoothed out at the forward end of the joint.
Figured out a way to install some of the gear mechanism before the nacells wile still leaving off the actual gear leg until later in the construction. The fit of the nacell was pretty good except...........
This seam on top. It really wasn't too bad of a seam, it was just very difficult to file down with the oil cooler intake in the way.
Also did detail work on the seat adding Eduard seat-belts and gluing it in the cockpit.
At Terry's suggestion I drilled out the holes on the underside of the canopy door and painted and weathered it (still needs touch-up along the edges).
The canopy and turret glass after a dip in Future. The Turret glass will be installed just like this with out painting framework because the Martin turret did not have any framework. The Plexiglas segments that made it up were formed with 90 degree flanges which were bolted together. The unpainted lines formed in the clear kit plastic look pretty much like the real thing.
