Meanwhile I have been working on this project but not posting so much, so catch-up time has come along. To those of you familiar with this kit, I'll apologize up front. I think I had a few issues and may have gotten in a bit of a hurry.
I had an issue with the alignment of the fuselage. this in turn cased a separation on one side of the vertical tail. Also some putty work to even the offset.
I thought I was going to have an issue with the fit of the wings. You install the gearwell side walls and gear tunnel into the lower wing.
and then the upper wing. The inboard leading edge of the upper wing did not seem to want to mate while dry fitting and left a large gap. I fixed this by glueing it in place first and clamping the heck out of it, and it played nice from then on.
I then mated the wing and fuselage together.
I then applied a coat of primer.
Then preshading, I'm not noted for priming and pre shading but Dale and I have had some long discussion and I am going to try it.
I'm really enjoying this new air brush.
