Finished up the cockpit tub and installed it in the fuselage. This together with a spreader bar and the proper dihedral put in almost eliminated all the gaps. What's left I can get with a little thick CA
Haven't posted here in a few days but I have been working.
Looking at pictures off the interior of the radiator outflow area (pics 12) compared with the cover piece used in the model (pics 34) I saw that that area was all wrong. After a lot of thought (including just saying to hell with it and gluing the kit part on) I began chopping up the cover plate (pic 5) and started building a more correctly shaped out flow with scrap bits of plastic. Pic 6 shows the main insert I built in its rough form and pics 78 show the test fitting after some trimming. The insert still needs a lot of sanding, shaping and filling and I'll add cowl flaps made out of bits of aluminum beer can.
