Need to show 'some' progress. Besides, Don has me worried that I won't be maintaining my usual 'first-to-enter' crown.
The fuselage is fitted. I did do a CA gap fill on the top section of the fuselage, being clear it looks like a gap is still there. Not sure if I want to do that again!! Sure glad I had a bottle of un-cure, the CA tube sprung a leak, and I thought I would never get the use of my fingers back again!
I suppose I am not alone on this? My next step is to cut that pitot tube off and put it in a safe place. I'll drill a small hole where it was and even though it will be shorter than it should be, I don't care!! At least I'll still have it and the carpet can go hungry! As you can see, it has already been 'stressed' at least once.
Eduard engineering?? It takes 4 pieces to make one side of the landing gear well?? I suppose it was the only way to mold in the 'rubberish' textures (painted tire black)?
And last, a question? I usually fill the leading edges of the wings, assuming that that is how they should be? Air flow and all that. But looking at the illustrations and the color images that came with the kit, as well as looking at the molded in panel lines, I'm not sure that this would be so on this craft? The rivet patterns and the panel lines just don't align top to bottom. Maybe one panel or two but not all from top to bottom?
