@fiveten, thank you, Spiros @uscusn, thanks a lot, Chuck. Glad to have you onboard.
Followed the instructions and glued the upper wing elements to the lower section. Dry fitting showed a minor gap at the wing root. To get rid of this gap I used an 'advanced' setup, just a little force from the elastics was required to reduce the gap to zero. Will leave it like this for another 12 hours at least.
Well done, John (@johnb). Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
Great trick, my friend @johnb!
@gblair, @fiveten, thanks. Simple but practicle and functional.
Clever thinking! Will consider this method next time when I run in similar problems.
@alfred, thank you, Alfred. I hope this will help you next time.
Taken off the elastics and wing roots do look quite good, no gaps.
I would have thought interior green also, John (@johnb). Good catch.
Great result so far and nice repainting, my friend @johnb!
@gblair, thanks, George. Had some look at various pictures around the net and noticed that most of them are painted this way if I'm not mistaking. @fiveten, thank you, Spiros
Did some detail painting on the engine and applied some wash.
Good progress, John (@johnb). There was a lot of cut and fit on my canopy also, plus some acrylic putty. It looks like your plane is camouflaged. I thought yours was natural metal.
Engine looks great, my friend @johnb! Pity for the canopy, will need some trim work to fit.
@gblair, thank you, George. The green is an overspray of the first run to paint the gunbays. For the canopy I was thinking of using Revell contacta clear to level the areas around the canopy. @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros.
