Progress is slow for a number of reasons including the fact I am painting the metal frames of the windows and at 1:72 it is a time consuming and finicky chore. Also did the vertical tail deicing boot. All fuselage windows except for waist gun positions have been installed. Waist gun window frames being painted but it is a slow process.


Still hoping to finish this weekend.

Cheers

More progress today. Front office has been glued into place but still not ready to close up the fuselage. Still have to finish painting the waist window frames and install them as they are installed from the inside.

Once that is done I will close her up and hope none of the interior stuff breaks off.

Still have to do rubber boots on just the top of the horizontal stabs.

Thought I would have a peak as to get an idea of how she will look.







Cheers

Horizontal stabs glued and waiting for them to set.
Main fuselage decals applied.
Top of fuselage small windows installed in nose.
Bottom of fuselage cupola attached.
I will be touching up the paint in the bottom of the aircraft as well.

Getting closer to being done.






I have stepped out of the house for a bit while decals set and glue cures. I will get back to the table.later today.

Cheers

Jeff
