Those wing tips are worse than the ICM ones, and I thought they were bad. Doing good though. Just make sure you get the wing dihedral correct before fixing the wing to fuselage gaps.

Nice progress! No shims for the wing root gaps? I've had past trouble trying to fix big gaps with putty alone.

Yep, dihedral looks about right.
I agree about shimming the gaps in the wing roots - insert and glue some strips of plastic card, cut and sand flush, and job's a good un.
The outer hubs of the wheels look a bit strange though - rather small. Have you accidentally painted black over the outer rim ?

Looks good Andy. I've never heard of that species of Tamiya putty before, just the white and green. Off to Google that................

It works a treat Geo. Apply, wipe off excess and place outside in sunlight for a couple of minutes - done!

Nicely done Andy.
I'm not familiar with that putty either - any chance of a pic of the packaging?

Here ya go Terry. Comes in a little black bag to keep the light off and as you can see it is a yellow paste which is easy to apply. Like I said before it's so simple, apply paste, wipe off excess, expose to light and your done - no sanding required!

Thanks Andy. I think I'll try that - when winter is over, and we get some light here !

I'll have to look into that Andy, that looks very useful!

I had been looking for that stuff a couple of years ago but it was nowhere to be found locally. However, I happened to see it at a local store a 3 months ago so picked up a tube. It will work in artificial light as well.

Hmm, I can think of perhaps one or two up here that may have it.
