Nineteen bucks? That's quite a bit cheaper than the UK price, and worth it I reckon, for a manufactured item. Anthing that helps to make the job more hassle free is good. Think I'll make myself one to teplace the one I drove over with my land rover years ago.....
Nice job so far Mags - a bit of patience, a lot of swearing, then a relaxing beer (or Coke in your case) will sort that problem!

 

[Maglar]

Ive already figured it out using my mental imagery.. some knife scraping to make a uniform circle then CA or putty to build up the new outer walls. Should not be bad at all... just got to fill in the rest of the fuselage seams, seems like shes parting like the red sea!

 

[Airframes]

Sounds like there might be some internal parts not quite locating in their 'slots' or whatever, pushing the fuselage halves out of kilter.

 

[Maglar]

Most likely.. ill try to make sure each is in, confident they are. Just bad fit!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice progress Corey. Good luck with the fit-up fix.

 

[Maglar]

Thanks.. I managed enough time today to (I think) completely fill in the top fuselage seam. Will most likely do a thin paint stripe check. Looks are deceiving in the game of modeling!

 

[A4K]

Hope she works out alright mate!

With the guys, love that stand too

 

[Maglar]

Main fuselage seams are done and handeled, time to move forward in the instruction book..

 

[Maglar]

Engines.. the gray didnt show up too well on the black but oh well.

You sound disheartened

Nice work!

 

[Maglar]

Wings glued up, and a dry fit test. Yup, it's sturdy! Next will be to fill in the wings..

 

[B-17engineer]

Sweet!

 

[Heinz]

Nice stuff man!

 

[kgambit]

Looking good Corey.

 

[Maglar]

Thanks boys.. much to do. Really need to get a good session in this weekend..

 

[Airframes]

It's taking shape nicely Mags. Hope you'e got plenty of room to display it when done!

 

[Crimea_River]

Crap is that ever huge!

 

[Maglar]

Well Terry.. the sneaky plot. My grandfathers 80th birthday is due in March and I plan on giving it to him with the full dio as his gift. Sort of symbolic with the "Fightin' Sam", even though he's a Jack.

Nice touch! Put a copy of one of the pictures with it too, would round it off nicely.
