Yes it is. There should be some putty into the gap only.

***Breaths sigh of relief****

Yep it's only a tiny tiny bit but it's there !

 

[Wurger]

That's good

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes, It's like that on both sides.

I know it's probably late over on your side of the pond, but is there anything else I can do tonight?

 

[Wurger]

Yes you can - the flap bays..ANd of course show me the sanded joint around the fuslage.

Don't worry I'll be on for some time yet.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay very good. And the flap bays what would I be doing. Pics coming right up.

 

[Wurger]

OK. I'll wait.

 

[B-17engineer]

Here. Hard to see but there are still putty in em. Sorry bad lighting, there's a lot of rain.

 

[Wurger]

Which sandpaper did you use for that? The orange one?

Show me the bottom of the nose please. I mean the "chin"

 

[B-17engineer]

Orange and then a bit of the black to clean it up and yea let me go get a pick of its 'Chin' haha

 

[B-17engineer]

Here you are.

 

[Wurger]

OK. Now use a piece of the black one and sand it again in order to ged rid off all visible scratches.The surface should be matt without bigger flaws.Pay your attention to the MGs areas.

 

[B-17engineer]

On the chin? Or everywhere I just sanded?

 

[Wurger]

Yes especially on the chin and everywhere you just sanded.The surface has to be smooth without any gaps and scratches.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright I'll go do that.

Thanks for all you time so far!

 

[Wurger]

[B-17engineer]

I found my dad in my room looking at my model. I asked him what was up and he said he misses modeling, but he said he can't get back into it until retirement, because he's always busy.

Anyways I went on with the sanding of the nose to smooth it out. I'm working on the step still, just wanted to get this pics up.

 

[Wurger]

I understand your dad. Greetings from Poland for him.

Look at the pic please.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright Wojtek! Will go do that!

 

[Wurger]

OK. Go.
