    After many corrections I finally masked seam on fuselage. I hope it is enaugh smooth. I don’t know why but Seam cracked off and I need to reglued it by CA Glue. To make better effect I primed fuselage and wings in before glueing airframe.

    I go nuts when a seam refuses to go away Bernard @lis! I hate that!

    Today I was made pre-shadeing. Not my best work, but I try to accept it. Still I don’t glue wings to make paiting better under and over wings. I apologize for long work but still I don’t feel OK.

    After correcting some shortcomings airframe are ready. Wings fits quite good. For better result I used some white glue as putty to fill a little hole in front of wings.

    After few corrections undersurfaces was painted on Sky Color. I think shade of Sky masked effect of pre-shadeing makes it unvisible.
