Don't forget to fill the cannon holes that were designed for the A-5a.

Ah i was then gonna ask about that,

the instructions clearly call for you to add the lower cannons and leave the holes, but that does seem wrong

Looking good Dave.

yep very nice job

 

[Wayne Little]

Way ahead of me Dave, should get mine on track now...

 

[tigerdriver]

slowed somewhat

this week it seems I am mostly sanding

 

[Crimea_River]

Hopefully next week isn't mostly filling!

 

[Wayne Little]

It's all good practice Dave...

Tiresome though…………..

Aahhhh. Filler and sanding. I think I added about 2lbs of putty to my A-4. Coming along right smartly.

I hate sanding

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Me to but it's a hazard of the hobby.

 

[Wayne Little]

A lot of test fitting and careful aligning of parts can eliminate filling and reduce sanding too!

 

[Wurger]

That's true....

 

[tigerdriver]

well still at the sanding and checking stage but getting there

Bad light on this pic of the underside makes some of the panel gaps look much worse than they are ...

Used the 76 as a primer for the top too

Overall quite pleased given my previous heavy handed attempts with the filler

Have done a little work on the undercart and canopy as well

letting it all settle now while i start to ponder the camo in more detail

Paintwork looks nice and tidy.
