coming along nicely Harrison, and your learning as well, keep working mate

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Karl! I will do a little more work today, I have soccer.

 

[B-17engineer]

Putty went MUCH better this time. I used my crappy testors knife that I have had for a while and used that to pack it in. Since I have a new knife the Testors one can be used for putty and I much prefer Testors putty over squadron . But I have both so I won't need putty for a while. The putty was done to fill the gap between the plane and engine, not the machine guns.

 

[B-17engineer]

Can't wait till this baby gets primed so I don't have to see the ugly putty on the wings....

 

[parsifal]

Its coming on famously harrison, well done

 

[Wurger]

Looking good Harrison. But undoubtedly there is too much of the putty at these wing joins.Now you have to sand these areas,yuo have to do it very neatly.Because these places are seen very well with the model. YOu should sand it in that way to get seen the join lines visible only. I mean the putty has to be seen in these gaps only.

But what about the flap bays, are these ready for painting?

 

[B-17engineer]

How do I know if they are ready? I wasn;t clear on the directions about the putty so I didn't want to go do it.

 

[Wurger]

I see. Here you are. Is that clear enough?

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh okay very good! At half time of the football game I'll go that! I took some of the putty off the wings, I'm resizing the pictures.

 

[B-17engineer]

 

[Wurger]

The spinner....

 

[B-17engineer]

Ah so I need to put the putty there! Gotcha!

 

[Wurger]

You need to put the putth there where is the red marked area.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ohhhhhhh I see, my bad!

 

[Wurger]

Uhmm.....

 

[B-17engineer]

? is this k?

 

[Wurger]

Did you remove the filling?

 

[B-17engineer]

What filling? I added that.

 

[B-17engineer]

For starters, first 2, left wing. Second 2, right wing.

 

[Wurger]

OK Thanks Harrison.

Here you are marked again the area on fuselage you have to put the putty at.
