Very nice work on the wheel wells. I don't like ring-shaped parts because the joint is always so difficult to get right.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Must be Zap-a-Gap weekend, been doing the same myself.

 

[Catch22]

Few days late but looking good.

 

[Totalize]

Coming along Nicely there Glenn.

I put the lenses on the fuel tanks adding red and green paint inside for the nav lights on the tip tanks. They needed to be filed to make a flush fit, then poloshed back to clarity. What I thought was going to be a quick 15 min job turned into well over an hour.

Work has been very busy lately so this build hasn't been moving along very fast, but next week I go in fof a hernia operation and will be taking 3 weeks off of work for recovery. I should be able to get a bit more modeling time in during that time off.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good luck with the op Glenn. We'll try not to make you laugh afterwards.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Yep Glenn, hope all goes well with the op, best bit is the drugs after………….away with the fairies.

 

[Gnomey]

[Wayne Little]

[Wurger]

Thanks guys.
I figure first week, laying around the house in pain on some good meds. Second week, a lot of time at the modeling bench. Third week sitting by the lake with a beer in my hand.
Unfortunately the fourth week is back to work.

Wonderful work so far! The wheel wells look really nice!

 

[Donivanp]

Take care Glenn and and don'e re due the reason you are due.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys.

I put the wings and tail on last night and the fit was very good and will need no filler at all.

I the background is the old F-102 from the Delta group build that I pulled off the shelf of doom and started messing with last night' The renewed interest is thanks to Don (Donivanp) who was kind enough to send me some extra canopy parts he had. Maybe I can finally finish it now with all this extra spare tiMe I will be having.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Glad that fit went well Glenn, you take care now over the coming weeks.
