As I was checking the photo to see if wing pylons were attached(they are) I noticed there was no center line fuel tank. My question, would the associated gear to attach the tank to the fuselage still be there; ie., to wit, vis a vis, re: those two gaping holey rectangles on the bottom of the fuselage?

Geo

Not as gaping holey rectangles. but rather as attachment points.
Verstehen?

Minor setback. Preparing to paint the anti-glare panels when I noticed that paint had run from the bottom of the wings to the topside. A bit of a do-over.

Oopsy.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Oh dear!.................or some such stronger words!!

 

[fubar57]

No problems, repaint complete and going down now to do the anti-glare panels.

Geo

 

[fubar57]

Anti-glare panels complete with the inevitable touch-ups due(yellow) and now off to the basement to see what that blemish is.

taking shape there Geo...

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep, sure is. I don't see anything in the yellow circles actually.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looking very sharp.

 

[Wurger]

I agree.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. Gloss coated and will decals will be applied when I get out of camp. Added a brake line to a strut and was pretty happy with it. Came back later to do the other one, couldn't remember the site I used for the first line and found that in every subsequent photo, the line ran up the opposite side. Oh well....

Have a good rest of your week gentlemen, I am outta here.
