Just finished gluing the engine into the cowl, and gluing the fuselage halves together. Tomorrow I will work on the fuselage seams.

BTW, found a Monogram PB4Y-2 in 1/48 on line for $78.00 from RM Combat.

That is looking really good there Charles.I tried getting pics of my P-38 pit and they just sucked!So might try an outdoor shot today if the sun shines any?

There is a model shop 20 minutes from me that has one. I will drive over today. As soon as I saw it, I thought of you. I think it is about $32.00.

I see. It sounds good. Could you post a link to the RM Combat site if it exists of course?

I got to work on the Rufe for awhile, today. Fuselage is sanded, dry fit with the elevators and the wings glued together.

Question: What do you do to the seam where the elevators meet the fuselage ?

Depending on the gap there. Usually some of a putty and gentle sanding/polishing are needed .

BTW A good work so far Pal.

Check pictures of Zeros on the net to see how they look, then you can determine whether or not to fill.

Interesting .... no word about the kit in the Net.

Charles, ask them about what a kind of the model it is , an injection , rasin or vacufom one. ALso if it is the Monogram kit or their own.
