Ordered the masks today.

I joined the wings to the fuselage this afternoon.




The fuselage/wing joint looked really good, but.....




the underside joint is pretty bad and will need a lot of work.




Also glued together the engine cowling parts and finished cleaning up the horizontal tail parts.

 
I've been chipping away at it little by little over the last month but haven't had time to take pictures so this morning I took a lot of pictures and here's a lot of catch-up

The main assembly all filled, filed, sanded, polished and ready for paint once I get the masks on




The prop hub assembly before (don't pay any attention to the seat) and after. Lots of cleanup




The prop blades before and after. again, lots of cleanup and all the detail had to be cut into then with hobby knife and needle file.




The engine cowlings cleaned up and ready for paint




Gear doors painted and ready to go




Landing gear struts and wheels done except paint the rubber




Engines and exhaust stubs ready to go





The directional antenna football was a mess with a big molding step in it and a base shape that had no basis in reality. A lot of tedious filing and sanding and it looked better. an un touched one is on the left.




And now for the reason for the long delay in updating. I've been working building a retaining wall to prevent the washing out of my driveway pictured in post #30. All done myself with my pick, shovel, and aching back. Still 2 levels of block to go!

Nice work Glen. Those Williams Brothers models do take some work, but they're the only ones you can find in the subjects. I've got a couple of B-10s.
 
Thanks Don. I build the B-10 quite a few years ago, and their Boeing 247 also but I don't remember either one of them needing as much work as this one did
