Thank you gentlemen... thank you very much... support is necessary with this device... all this time I have been sanding and sanding, touching up the putty and sanding again and now I only have 3 problematic areas left...



 
We continue with the assembly. After finishing the fuselage, it's time for the nose. I've been calculating the weight of the nose to shift the center of gravity and make it level, but, surprise, it doesn't have the shape it should have! What a surprise with this mold! So, I'll continue with the sandpaper and putty, more sandpaper and more putty... but it will go quickly. It's just a little bit that I'll touch up...
Then, I'll try the new tape to do the paneling that I had to remove because of so much sanding.



The lines of this plane are something that I have always loved.

A shame to struggle with this. Power through it Sergio. Reminds me of some Hobbycraft kits I've done

If it's true, it looks like those hobbycraft kits that made us fight so much... the caribou was one of them, or the sea fury that never ended and I ended up throwing it out the window with a firecracker like the ones they throw during the fallas...

Many a modeller would have shelved this by now or even chucked it. Your endurance is admirable

I don't plan on letting myself be defeated by the piece of plastic. If it needs love (patience, effort, perseverance) I'll give it 5 times what it asks for! It's an airplane that I've always wanted to have in my display case and I'm not going to give up on my efforts to finish it!
