Thanks for the kind words guys.

The wing tanks have been mounted and now it's time for the wing mounted bazookas. Not much to them really. the bazookas were in two parts and then you had to add the end caps. Easy peasy. Also got the landing gear installed. She now sits on her own three wheels

I sprayed with future and then started the decals

Prop and spinner installed. In this kit the prop was individual blades. What a pain in the arse.

nice work

Looking very nice. But be careful of these bazookas. As memo serves the assembling instruction suggests mounting them inversely.

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice Dirk!

If memory serves me they can only go on the one way and if I were to spin them around they would interfere with the flaps. I think they are installed correctly but of course am open to corrections

One more day left. I think I can I think I can I think I can....

Dirk, I read on one of the build threads (can't remember which) that an extension has been granted until either Friday or Sunday

So OK. Let them be.

Cool, every little bit helps

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You have an extension until and including the 4th Dec Dirk, hope this helps.

 

[Wurger]

Second in that above.

 

[Nxthanos]

You can make it bud, you are right at the finish line!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Tonight I did the panel lines, gun smoke and the flat cote. Pictures tomorrow.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Chris.

 

[Nxthanos]

Hey, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here Dirk, i never forget who my firends are.

 

[dirkpitt289]

I think I'm going to call this one done. Photos to follow,

 

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to them!
