Hello all, just an update. It's been a while for me but I've been persevering. I finished my scribing on the fuselage. Geesh, what a task. Attached the horizontal stabilizers, another fit mess. But I managed to smooth the fit and have the flaps ready to attach with a slight drop. Now I'm building up the nerve to cut the flaps on the wings and attach the resin replacements. Needless to say, I won't be taking on such a lower grade kit like this for a while.

Hello all. Still working on this crate. I swear I'm going to cross the finish line on this. I have to. I finished riveting on the nose and added the protruding MG 17's. At least that's what I believe they were. I also scribed the latches for the access doors. I'll attach flaps and the rudder, wings and wing flaps, and then off to the paint shop. Thanks for looking.

Hello all. I hope everyone is well. I see a lot of you have finished and your builds look great. I'm definitely not going to finish in time but I am at painting. I painted the undersurface SMS RLM 65 and MRP RLM 4 yellow theater marking. I don't know if I like the RLM 65. It looks a little dark. Maybe one of you know if that's accurate. I plan to tape off and start the upper surface tomorrow. Any critiques are welcomed and thanks for looking.
