Still I'm fighting the seam lines on the bottom of the fuselage – for some reason they won't go away even after the third attempt with the putty and the sand paper. Maybe, it's not clearly seen on the photo, by they definitely would be visible after painting.

Also, every other part needs sanding, check-fit, and patience. What is left is flaps and landing gear.

Pedro, some time ago, my son had a punctured lung - serious problem that you’d think that would need a high tec medical solution. The doctors’ solution? CA glue and talcum powder. Fixed it right up.

David, unless it’s some disturbed medicine prank, I must admite that using CA glue to prevent a pneumothorax or a worse complication is, to me, unheard of. Now using talc powder it’s described as one of procedures, though I cannot understand just why since I’m nor a doctor or surgeon. Still, using it to fill plastic gaps looks less weird don’t you think?

Looking good so far Dmitry, waiting for some paint !

Have to admit, it just looks dead gorgeous. Far exceeds my initial expectations, can’t wait to see the complete model

@starfar - this is sooo cool! and looking better each time - thanx for sharing this very interesting plane! You seem to have nailed the yellow nicely.

Looking fantastic! Such an interesting subject.

Looks OK from here Dmitry !
