Looks great Bill. What tool did you use to make them lovely round perfect lights?

 

[N4521U]

My fingers and a file mate........... drilled a hole in the wing, filed a rod to press fit in the hole and added a drop of super glue and filed it down when dry..... easy peasy.

Jav, I felt the same when I joined up. Been yearrrrrrrs since I have built a plane. Granted I did know Rodney Williams, a master builder, for a short time in California. But building can be overwhelming, like looking at the instrument panel of a 747, you just have to realize it is duplicated on either side, and there are more instruments than really needed to fly the plane.

So if you take one part at a time. Mark up the instruction sheet at each step with what you want to achieve. This is what I have done with Merlin's Magic, then do one thing per night, or day, or at a time.
Doesn't matter what order. I do what is the most difficult First. Follow what Wayne, Vic and others do to get it done, it's not brain surgery. I am only getting these results because of looking at what rusults they get.

Having said all that. Thanks for your comment. And to all the others.

My decals have been sorted, and I can't wait to get them and get them on.....

P.S. I love scratch building!!!!!!
