    Just a bit of cleaning to be done which will for sure be done nicely by you.

    Thanks John, quite a bit to do, -------------
    a few other rough spots showing up as well as the engines, I'll give them all a touch of paint.

    Indeed, a nasty way engines are attached to the wing, prone to gaps, you are doing a splendid job there, though, my friend @kalamazoo!

    Not the easiest way to get a smooth connection, Allan @kalamazoo
    You are clearly getting there after some rounds of sanding.

    they could have done them like their C130's, some masking, tape, paper and plastic bags, ready for a touch of paint.

    It's been a while and the shrinkage keeps on, a bit of filling on the tail where it needs painting, the other bits, maybe !
