Yep. Did a test fit of the wings to the fuselage. Where's the seams I'm used to dealing with?

​

Still a bit of work to do on the redundant hatches. Done for another week, back at it next Wednesday

Looks to be a promising finish. Have a good week Geo.

Good stuff Geo. Maybe chop some plastic off the wing roots, then you can fill the gaps !!!

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far George!

Ah yes. Tamiya models. Toss glue and paint into the box, shake, and out pops a finished model.

Thanks guys. Time to get back at this. Glued in the innards and doing the last bit of work on the wing mods before attaching them to the fuselage.

It's nice to see you in action Geo... And that bird starts to take shape. You can see the master's hand.

Good to see you moving this one along, looking forward to what you have in store for us.

Wish I had the motivation to resurrect my stalled builds.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks all. This was more of a "to be continued" build Andy: put away for the current GB and still a month away from the next. I just look at my stalled pile, sigh a little and turn away. The wing parts are enjoying togetherness, the clamps aren't necessary. More of a just to be dang sure thing

Oneness. A certain beauty that only someone like Terry can appreciate(sorry)...

​

I'll let this set. Waiting for a call from PG to find out if I can return the rental car today. If so, SWMBO has announced a raiding and pillaging mission. When I return, a bit of seam work to attend to before painting. Day 2 of 21 off so this will be finished before the next GB

Good stuff. I think Terry would like you to squeeze that Berna Clamp much harder.

 

[N4521U]

Wahoo, noice!

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far George!

 

[Airframes]

That's a really stunning paint jar ..............

 

[fubar57]

Guess who forgot to deal with the outer MG ports before painting the lower color...

​

...a bit of CA, a bit of accelerator and all is good
