The computer is in for repair and I have my fingers crossed.
I got a lot done on the Millie G this weekend. All major components assembled , filled where necessary (very minor) sanded and polished.
Picture 1 shows where probably the worst fit in this kit is, and I must say it was almost nothing. The wing root joint, which is always a problem area needed only a little CA and some work with a needle file – very minor. The thing that did surprise me was that the camera port (the little rectangle in the wing leading edge) was misaligned at the seam. I had to work at it a little with the sharp point of a #11 blade to get it looking right.
Picture 2 shows the bottom fuselage after assembly. I lost a few panel lines on the bottom of the intake due to sanding, but that was my fault from not paying good enough attention when I glued it up, misaligning the joint a little. The joints at the nose intake was a perfect fit and needed no sanding at all.
Picture 3
The assembled tail. The horizontal fins were another perfect fit, no sanding necessary.

The assembled P-51, ready for masking and paint.
You might notice that the prop shaft is missing. It broke off somewhere so if I can't find the piece I'll have to come up with another way to attach the spinner.
