    Nothing special. A lot of sanding to make fuselage smooth. I made few mistakes. Too fast I added dorsal turret, because I think that fuselage are sanded enaught. But not, and I need to take really care of barrels during next step of sanding.

    Having small things attached before final sanding is always a challenge, my friend @lis. You are doing a super job, though!

    Finally putty time was ended. After sanding fuselage between turret and cockpit, it has final look. It is not perfect, but I need to accept as it looks.

    Work with wings. Undercarriage need to be glued before closing wings.
