got up this morning got my coffee and then I assembled the wings. will apply putty later, today.

 

[Trebor]

Putty applied, and sanded. I've also put on the flat gray primer. gotta admit, this is a pretty awkward kit. never done a Stratocruiser before

 

[Wayne Little]

Well you're doin' a good job on it Rob!

 

[Airframes]

Agreed.

 

[Lucky13]

[A4K]

[Airframes]

[Wayne Little]

Revell Bv222 is a pretty reasonable size in 1/72!

 

[Trebor]

I managed to squeeze in some modeling today. I masked off the tips of the wings and top of the fuselage after applying white to those areas a few days ago. then I slapped gloss black on there afterwards
