O.K. Andy, your 'pit looks great too!

Thanks everyone! Didn't work on the model tonight. Trying to nail down the bass part to "Got to Get Better in a Little While" (Crossroads 2007 version) by Clapton, Willie Weeks, et al.

Looking great so far.

Made a little progress last night:

Got some small gaps where I attached the upper fueslage to the main part, but it was probably my fault instead of the kit. I think I misaligned the two halves of the upper fuselage by a fraction of a mm. I believe I have everything filed down even now. Primer will let me know later.

Still not real thrilled with the seatbelts, but they'll have to do for this oob build.

Thanks for looking!

Andy

Looking good.

Don't feel bad. I've yet to put together a kit that didn't have a tiny misalignment in the fuselage. I just try to put it towards the bottom where it won't be seen if the sanding is not perfect. Good job so far.

nice

 

[Vic Balshaw]

The gaps are most probably related to the kit Andy, they usually fit good when nothing has been stuffed inside, but add the innards and you always get a gap or alignment problem somewhere.

Been a while since I had a chance to post. She's just about ready for primer!
