Thanks guys! Appreciate the heads up Andy! I am not in a rush to start the scribing work after my botch job so I'll check the fuselage fit before doing anything.
After cobbling the wings together, you can see the added tubing get hidden a little bit.
And then it gets covered up even more once the main bulkhead is put into place!
After double checking the fit of the spinner and backing on the engine cowling, I noticed that the recessed line around the middle of the spinner was missing on the half of each spinner. Either sand it away completely or rescribe the line. I went with the latter. Very carefully I might add since I could not use Dymo tape and had to do this freehand.
Another head-scratcher... I noticed small bumps on the fuselage at the wing roots. One on the top and one on the bottom.
But the wings do not have matching bumps. Is this some sort of observed feature of the Ju88 like the little bump on the 109 wing root? Do I have to grind these bumps down?
The little nose cone has been attached. No locating pins so Tamiya Extra Thin cement was applied to short segments working around the joint and adjusting the fit along the way. Not a perfect fit but pretty good.
The wing approach light is an interesting piece of plastic engineering. Instead of a clear lens cover and separate light bulb/reflector, it is a solid piece of clear plastic with a "bulb" represented by a hollow recess in the center of the piece.
I dropped some silver paint into the recess to simulate the reflector and then painted the body of the light black. It looks like a mini Lava Lamp (remember those?). Fit into the wing is very good and I have the option of putting it in after painting.
