After that i continue with rescribing mainly the downside of the fuselage. There i had to deal with a ghost seem that refused to disappear. Finally after a lot of sanding and putting i think i managed it. I glued the well, assembled the wings, left it to rest a little and after the sanding procedure this is what i got.

It was time for the landing light to deal with as well as the machine guns and mussels.
