    Time to pull up the tape and sticky putty so we can get a look see how it all turned out?

    Allan, my friend @kalamazoo, I love your nice, neat and attended to detail work. Taking care of all those discrepancies, results in excellency, which is easilly realised in your models. For example, I have never sanded off built up "lumps" like you did. Well, the result is a rough appearnce; feels roughto the touch, too!

    Well, I live and learn, so I copy / steal your technique, to implement at my models (ok, at least at the offending looking cases!).

    Due to your detailed threads and willing answers, I have learned many things from you already, and I would like to thank you for this.

    Allan (@kalamazoo), that is becoming quite a good looking Mosquito. I really like the fine lines in the cockpit if I should point out just one thing. Very nice.

    Thanks Eric, there's a bit of shrinkage in a couple of glue joins and a few other spots need a touch up, I'll leave it sit a while to be sure the shrinking has stopped !
