It does now, I had to shave off the outside of the cockpit and the inside of the fuselage along with the wing. Fuselage is so thin now you can almost see through it !!

Lots of scraping but it looks like you got it

Looks like a block plane might have helped.
Good work so far!

Meanwhile in North Delta. It's stopped raining and I'm carving an airplane out of bondo.

I've noticed my neighbour has been spending quite a bit of time down on his fishing boat. ( Q : Twighlight Zone theme music )

Replaced the exhaust pipes in the kit with ones I mad from beer can aluminum. The kit ones don't fit at all without looking goofy and blocking the opening they come out of entirely. Then a base coat and a lot of masking. I ended up using the RLM colours as they are but the RLM 63 I added several drops of Russian brown to make it less greenish looking. So far so good. Clear coated with gloss and ready for decals.

Nice! Rolled beer can to make pipes. Never would have thought of that.

I think it's called a jewelers die. It has progressively smaller tapered holes. You cut a strip of metal and pull it through each hole and it curls it into a tube and stretches it out. Very handy. I also have one that makes square tubes.

Got a pic of it? Sounds like a great tool.
Lovely work so far!

I got these in a bunch of stuff I salvaged from an EX Sister in law. It was mostly lapidary stuff and silver crafting stuff.

Cool. So you just push the beer can metal in one end? How do you deal with the overlaps or gaps?
