Looking good guys.

Somewhere, I have a list of which airframes were Mk.VIII (retractable tail wheel), and which were Mk.V (fixed tail wheel), but I can't locate it at the moment.

Well that's helpful, ain't it!?!?

Nice going George.

Prepping the clear parts for the spritzing. Used my circle cutter on the windscreen, a wee bit of trimming on the right

 

[Wurger]

A quite nice idea .. but wouldn't be it easier to stick a piece of the tape there and use a pencil to get the mask shape and then cut it out with the scissors?

 

[fubar57]

Nope. Took all of 10 seconds to get a nice neat cut

 

[Wurger]

That's true but now you have to spent more of the time to mask the rest of the front glass while you could have one solid piece.

I don't do large pieces well, I do very thin strips

 

[Wurger]

Copied that.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Circle cutter. Worth their weight in gold.

Me to but never thought of the circle while I did use it for masking on the bottom of the F-84.

 

[N4521U]

I do the same.
Steel circle template, scalpel, BAM!

Spritz, spritz ,spritz....Medium Sea Grey

​

Before I did that I checked the fit of the windscreen. I read Andy's build and he mentioned a slight issue getting the fit right. I tried mine and it looked a lot worse. A closer look reveals that I needed to remove a bunch of plastic. These were in the same shape that prevented a good fit with the wing/fuselage. A bit of sanding and now the fit is very good

​

Waiting for Future to dry and then I can attach the clear parts and do the top

Nice and great catch.
