No problem - PM on the way.

The fuselage halves have been joined together and it went very smoothly. Very little putty if any will required. I will know more after I lightly sand the seams.

I have the feeling however that when it comes time to join the wing to the fuselage a fair bit of putty will be required judging by the test fitting. Although it does not show here there is a very noticeable gap along the starboard joint. Not enough for plastic card but definite putty worthy.

Cheers,

Jeff

Going great guns Jeff.

Coming together nicely Jeff.
If the wing root gap is small, perhaps some stretched sprue laid in and sanded will be easier and smoother than putty.

With Terry, or I sometimes use very thin plastic card and shim in however many layers are required.

Me too. Putty is my last resort.

Great work Jeff, I love this plane, it got far too little credit for it's part in the war. You are making an oldie but goodie come to life. Cheers.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

I will get back to this soon I hope. Between maple syrup, work and life, I have had very little time lately.

 

[Donivanp]

Understand, Oh do I! Hope to see something soon.

 

[Crimea_River]

Work?

Hoisting bottles of beer can be work if you don't practice daily

And bottling, packing and shipping maple syrup to the UK can be hard work too .....................

 

[Wayne Little]

[T Bolt]

It's looking real nice Jeff

Lovely work so far Jeff!

Hey all. I have not been to the bench since the middle of March and there is no way I will finish this in time. I just seem to be in a funk when it comes plastic right now. So much going on outside of the house the past while the model.sits still as seen in my March 17th post. I will pick away when time and desire collide.
Sorry to disappoint but I don't want to force it when I am.not feeling it.

 

[parsifal]

Sorry to hear jeff. you need to go out and 'find your smile" as they say.

 

[Crimea_River]

Same with me Jeff. I was able to finish my Emil just in time but can't even think of starting a kit for GB38. And no stomach for getting back to my Fairey Battle which is still sitting there glaring at me.
