Thanks guys. Well I haven't posted in a while. so here is some update.
Nose gear was a pain in the seat posting. Small parts with huge and multiple sprue connections. But I was able to cuss it into being, yes there was a lot of four letter "French lessons" going down!

I got the for and canter and aft fuselage all attached. really not a bad fit.

And I shot some dark tan today, I used Testors Model Master Enamel for the paint.

Yep, nice work. I see that you keep your channel lock wrench close by to get those damned lids off the MM paint jars.

I have three sets in on and around the desk. But I can't find any of them half the time.

Ok so the plane is most often seen flaps up on the ground so I wanted to depict it that way. Putting flaps up was not as neatly done though as there is a step between the wing and the flap. A BIG one. So I've used so cardstock to fill in and then sanded it down a bit. I had to put some Tamiya white putty to help smooth it all down. waiting for a hard dry to sand it all out. Hoping it works out.

Good work so far!

So I glued in thin card stock and stepped it as needed and then puttied and sanded it down. and then glued the wings on. ready to spit some more paint to see where work needs to be done.

 

[Crimea_River]

Well done Don.
