Thanks everyone
Moving along little by little on the fiddly bits.
Picture 1 shows a before and after of the horrible flash clean up I had to do on the finned spinner caps.
Picture 2 shows my progress on the main landing gear. Still a long way to go there.

Latest Update:
The first picture shows the completed landing gear, ready to install when the time comes.
The second picture shows the latest, and I hope the last problem with this limited run kit. The two parts with the arrows are the spinners that receive the props, shown from the back. The one with the blue arrow in Ok with just a little flash. The one with the red arrow is the problem. Completely filled in!! Something went very wrong with the molding possess here, and it looks like I am going to have to hollow out the inside with a drill and a rat-tail needle file.
I am really starting to feel the pressure of the approaching deadline!

Good stuff there Glenn, looks like the small 'core' section of that area that protrudes into the prop has been broken from the plate, for it to completely fill like that.

Keep at it Glenn. I'm feeling the pressure of a looming deadline, myself!

I'm not - I know there's no way I'll be in on time!
Fantastic work Glenn, and if you and Gerry are close to the mark, could the judges please delay the deadline enough for them to be completed correctly? Be a shame to see a last minute rush curb some otherwise perfect work.
