Ok, some pics of the rear area where the wing joins the fuselage, before and after...got almost all the filling, filing, sanding and rescribing done now. Also redid a few seams that I wasn't happy with too.

Thanks Guys, the first coat of paint will tell the tale....basically RLM 65 will be the primer over all the joints and if things are right, I simply continue.

Outside of the laborious task of filing and sanding, I detect that Zap-a-Gap came to the rescue. Very nicely executed Wayne.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Ok the horizontal stabilisers are on and finished, also for those that don't know the upper rear fuselage had a slightly offset panel line that is not often seen but i decided to add it...

Ah, that'll be the 'Attention to Detail' thing people keep telling me about.

Top work!

Nice Wayne. Question: what did you use for a straight edge when scribing that line and how did you hold it securely on that curved surface?

A short piece of Plasticard about 60mm x 5mm, I stuck some rolled strips of blutak along the curve and settled the plasticard into it and lightly scribed the line with one of my small cutting saws that I use for panel lines.

Very nicely done Wayne. Reminds me - I must get some more 'Dymo' tape to use as a scribing template !

Very nice Wayne and I'm intrigued by your scribing method, I'm a Dymo tape man myself but that's because all the rolls I have came free a long time ago.
