Good work Don. Should look great when done.

Wing work, don't want them things to fall off up thar!!!!!!!!

Upper mate was not too bad, threw down some tape and puttied inthe crack...

Lower wing there was some CRACK going in..... I used Plastistruct dowl rod to fill in on the starboard wing and a small part of the port front wing. I puttied the mid section of the port wing and the radiator vents (correct me if I'm wrong here) will fill in the rest.

The port flap was sanded down too much trying to get eh wing mate correct. I used a section of flat card on the bottom and followed it up with a small dowl section on the top.

Stache? What stache? Me have a stache that takes up most of the closets in my four bedrooms upstairs? Parshie the thought.

Lots of filling there Don. Last 2 pics, there should be a gap where you used card a dowel where the flap meets the fuselage.

Understood but not a large as it was. My plan is to fill in and then cut it back.

My favorite pe saw does the trick

 

[fubar57]

Well done

 

[A4K]

Yep, good stuff Don.
I like the look of those PE saws too. They look less flexible than the usual thinner types.

They are thicker than like the Tamiya but thinner than a razor saw. I prefer the most of the time but sometimes the thinner is better.

Cheers Don. I might grab a set of those. I see you hold them by hand - are you able to grip them enough for a solid saw stroke?

Yes, they are big enough for a good grip.
