Terry, get yer coat and sweat next to Kirby! Official snowfall was 31cm and 5 more on the way tomorrow. Not enough to stop me going to the pub to meet some mates.
Anyway, I've finally dicked around enough with the blisters to call them done. They aren't perfect (they are just a tad too big) but I'm satisfied with the effort. The final touch was to scribe in the fasteners.
The bogus wheel well cut-out was next on the list. I cut the inner sections along the panel lines to open up the area for the inner doors. I kept the cut-outs in case I can use them as part of the doors as I will have to replicate an odd curve and also the slot for the exhaust fairing.
With that done, I was able to insert the wheel well to check the fit. Doing so revealed that I made the ejection chutes too long. I'll need to file them down.
I also finished off the pit and stuck it in. I added the throttle but didn't bother with the friction adjuster as it will not be seen.
On to the wings. Before bringing the upper and lower sections together, I drilled out the MG151 ejector slots and built up the inside walls with thick card.
That should do for today's update. Thanks for looking in and, Kirby, I hope you sunburned your a$$.
