Thanks guys, It really wasn't that hard, the wheel well walls had the proper shape so it was just a matter of trimming the skin back to the wheel well walls with sharp #11 blade.
Now, Attention all you Luftwaffe experts out there.
I received the decals today and the cheat sheet that came with them telling you what colors to use did not have the "K" or the "C" on it (see profile below). The "C is a no brainier and I'll use RLM04, but the "K" on the underside of the wings and lower fuselage sides I'm not so sure about. I'm thinking maybe RLM76, but it could be RLM65 or RLM78. Any help here would be appreciated.

I'll go all in with 76.

Far from a Luftwaffe expert but given the time period, I'd go with 76 too. I agree with others about the wheel well fix... I can't even tell it was modded!
I'd be surprised if it was not 76 Glenn

Like that wheel well fix as well Glenn and I'll also chip in with the 76.

Finished cleaning up the Fuselage and wing joints and glued on the cowl panels. The fit at the front wasn't great and will need some filler

Not a real bad fit Glenn, bit of sanding mayhap
Doing ok there Glenn, your slight gap may be the result of a small inner lip on that front nose section interfering with the cowl covers....?
and yes this aircraft is more than likely a 71/02 non standard upper camo so flip your coin as to whether 65 was used or it was combined with 76?

I never was good at poker....
I guess the 76 was not as obvious a choice as I thought.

Life has been getting in the way lately, but I still hope to finish this one before the deadline. In the last few days I've finished the cockpit and glued the wings on.
