Nice job, well done Bill. Not sure, but it looks like the white Milliput you're using? If so, you'll find it easier with the standard yellow / grey, for future work.
Looking good!

Thanks guys....
Yes it is the white stuff. I thought I wanted a smoother finish. It looks like porcelain when I finished sanding, and it is pretty tough! You were right tho, it has to be worked with the tools wet. It sticks like boogers to anything dry! It sure is good stuff tho.
This a.m. I stuck the flap pockets in place. Tail feathers next.

Looking forward to the pics Bill. BTW, the white Milliput is designed for repairing porcelain etc and, although good stuff, the yellow/grey is better for modelling, and easier to mix and use,as the colours blend and you know when it's 'right'.
Fine piece of sculpturing Bill, well done !
great job Bill

Nice recovery Bill. It's happed to all of us. The first Group Build I was in I put yellow stripes on the wing leading edge of a Spit. Beautiful masking job. Turned out great. Very proud of myself. Then found that the yellow stripes were put on after the Battle of Britain. Oh well. More masking and paint and all was well.

With the scoop out of the way I been cleaning up some of the gaps. Then the PE flaps pockets starting coming apart, and that was more than I could deal with. So I ripped them out and put in the resin ones that came with the set I got. Now I am filling in them gaps. Meanwhile I did the clearance lights on the wing tips. Getting a bit closer.

The resin parts look great and are one hell of a lot easier to deal with than PE. Well done.
