More work over the past day or two...

Scrapped and sanded the ribbing off the rudder was too prominent for my liking, fitted the lower fuselage section with the wing spars and glued the wing sections together, sanding these up tomorrow! Also prepared the horizontal tail planes...it's gonna be a 109 soon!

Coming on rapidly Wayne. It's surprising how many '109 kits have heavy rudder ribs isn't it ?!

Yes, thing is with just normal camo they are not too bad, but if you paint them yellow and/or add victory markings then they most certainly look too heavy and out of place.

...and thanks to all! no pics today but i did get most of the wing sanding done.....

No bench, put the seat back and sit the box on my lap as my bench!
