Looking good, Michael.
Not my favorite part of modelling but it surely improves the look of the model.

Fuselage looks good, Michael (@michaelt). Maybe you should buy another tube of filler before you start the wings, just in case.

Great progress on the OOB 88

Nice progress Michael @michaelt!
Radar antennas fitting is always challenging at such kits, but you are doing a great job so far.

No canopy masking required (@gblair), just a steady hand.
I tidied up the engine nacelles and glued the wings to the fuselage (the canopy isn't attached yet).
Unfortunately, the tailplanes aren't level, even though they looked to be when I attached them.
It may be that the starboard wing is high and the starboard tail is low...

A pox on you guys with steady hands (@michaelt) (@fiveten). If it wasn't for tape, I wouldn't be able to do canopies at all. I am always amazed that we can check the placement of parts a hundred times, and find misalignment only after the glue has dried. I would bet that no one will notice the misalignment after you are done except you.

Hand painted on a 1/72 canopy, that's a real steady hand. Looking great.
With 1/48 I might give it a try, but at 1/72, undoable for me.
As George (@gblair) said, for some reason dry fitting is always ok but when glue is applied for some reason it suddenly does not.

I have even heard of using a hobby knife to remove mistakes, cutting exactly at the frame border, then remove the "excess" with a toothpick or so...

Seems interesting, as the blade will create a sharp result...

Never tried it, though, as the proximity of the blade to the clear part makes me nervous...@michaelt, @airbum, @johnb and @gblair
