Thanks guys
I added a small chunk of #5 rebar under the cockpit tub and glued up the fuselage. A very nice fit for a kit that goes back to 1982.

At work somtimes the rebar ends are too close to the forms and have to be trimed off and I pick up the cut off peices. I used them in the engine cowles of the P-38 I built in group build 63 for the first time and they worked out pretty good

Only the best!
Good work so far Glenn!
I use ball bearings, as at work we change bearings preventively 4 months before they statistically break down, so I bring the balls home and clean them in acetone. Then I store them by weight and size, which I use to put the paints in to mix them and others to act as a counterweight... I would never have thought of using formwork rods.

I like the idea of a ball bearing in the paint pot to help mix it.

Just a quick update
I spent well over an hour with a file removing a large step at the nose cone. The picture shows the rough file marks that I will be spending quite a bit more time wet sanding to remove.
