    Fuselage closed. We finished late night. Few putty and sanding was required on upper surface seam, especially close canopy (the fuselage halves sprung a bit there, but CA glue make job). Revell made rivets on all kit surfaces so after sanding I have to remark all rivets that gone after sanding. I hope it will work after painting.

    Today all evening and half time of night I build wings and vertical stabilisers. I need to use liquid putty to fill seam between engine nacles and wings.

    Wings and tail look good, Bernard (@lis), and appear to be nicely detailed. They should look great with painting.

    Thank You!

    @gblair

    Yes. There is a lot of details and rivets. Also engine flaps could be made as open. Exhaut pipes fits good, but at this build to make strong joints I glued it at this stage. Pipes was drilled.

    Very detailed indeed, Bernard @lis
    Nice opening on the exhaust, much more realistic.
