    Thanks my friend @johnb!
    Depending of how big the quantity of the stagnated liquefied styrene (or glue) is, it usually lasts from 4 to 6 days... ask me how I know... 🙂

    Thanks for adding yet another nice build to DH100GB. Great progress in a short timespan.

    Second putty round...

    I also added a couple of streched sprue pieces in the main wheel wells, to add some extra interest...
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Seems like at the end you will have run out of putty, Spiros @fiveten.
    Improvements are clearly visible and also the added sprues do make the wheel wells look much better.

    Main sanding finished


    Since it will (to my joy) be an all "silver" plane, i will next attach all landing gear and tiny bits (mass balances and the like, then proceed to the paint shop.
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Standing on her feet!


    Since everything will be "silver", I added all landing gear parts, including doors, sans the wheels.
    Also added the distinctive stabilizer mass balances:
    We are more or less ready for the paint shop!
    Thanks for stopping by!

    A flash build perfectly executed, Spiros @fiveten
    Great to see her on her feet and not being a tail sitter.
    Looking forward to the paint shop results.

    I would call it much more than just acceptable, Spiros @fiveten
    The shiny silver does not reveal any anomalies, so the filling/sanding preperations were perfect.
