Well, I been busy with lots of Other stuff taking me away from the Bench.
Back on for some more swearing exercises...... truly working.
Filling and sanding, filling and sanding.
Using the Perfect Plastic Putty filler and seams to be working okay. Sands easily, fills nicely. As seen here.
In the last photo I am filling gradually, kinda like termites do....... gotta keep the intakes hollow!
Slowly but surely.

Thanks guys, nice of you to keep checking on me.
So now it's the nose. Had overlooked it to be honest!!!!
So I started by cutting the kit nose off, following the panel lines of the kit plane and the doner nose. 1, 2 and 3.
Wouldn't you know they ain't the same. Examine carefully is my advice!
Had to reattach some of the cut-off part, then trim, them add some styrene!. 4 & 5.
Will have to add more to a space at the top.
Life goes on.
 
you know what Bill we should of just swapped kits !
bit late now i know

looks good though
