Thanks guys. Mudding and sanding is finally done. There is no detail in the radiators so I'm adding some screen. Too big, wrong pattern, but at the end of the day, it's something.

Welcome home. The mesh looks alright Geo.

Yep, looks good enough. Once the radiator baths are in place, it can only just be seen, and will be more than acceptable.
Cool mate!

The mesh will make a good improvement.

As with the elevators, the radiators and flaps numbers are reversed and the flaps are designed to be dropped. Some major grinding is now taking place to get the flaps in the raised position and maybe, just maybe, painting will start later tonight.

Thenk yew. Whilst waiting for the glue to set on the flaps, added the camera bulge. When I downloaded the photo, I was shocked to see how askew the mask for the camera port was. I went back and measured, the edges of the mask were all 1mm from the edge of the bulge. The bulge also looks better in real time...odd. Paint flies today....woo-hoo.

Close up pics are brutal at picking up things the eye never sees.
