The panel lines and rivets look really good, Carl (@clipper). The cabin windows are going to be real problem children. I don't think I will be especially happy with the way mine look when I am done, but I tried to pop the windows out on one of the Hudsons and they wouldn't budge. I guess gluing with Future worked too well. These are my last Hudsons for a while anyway. I do have a couple of Airfix Hudsons, but I am not in a hurry to build them.

Thanks again John (@johnb) and George(@gblair). The windows on the nose have been the focus for today. This includes five smaller windows and one larger panel for the bomb aimer as well as the clear nose cone. The small windows on the sides needed a bit of work and I am in process of doing that now. The remaining small window on top had to wait until the fuselage was glued together, but it is in place as well. All of these were done with UV cured resin.

The larger window on the bottom is the kit part and it didn't fit real well, so it has to be faired into the fuselage as well. Except for smoothing it out and polishing, that has been accomplished.

The remaining piece is the clear nose code. Unfortunately, the kit part has two small locator pins molded on the inside which I attempted to remove and sand out. Not easy, because this piece is smaller than a grape. When I glued this part on, it was not a good fit either so I am going to have to fair that in also. That will have to wait for awhile until the glue dries.

Once all the fairing is completed, I can clean up and polish the windows. The main canopy is a slightly better fit, but it too will require fairing in a few places.

I also finished the riveting and rescribing of the fuselage after cleaning up the seams. I took extra time lining up the seams before gluing them so it only required a small amount of black CA glue to do the filling. The rescribing and riveting was accomplished after that. Once the windows are done and the nose detail is restored, I will give the model one final smooth sanding with 3000 grit and the liquid cement treatment to smooth out the panel lines.

Quite some work done, Carl @clipper
Definitely worth it. The riveting and rescribing looks like it was molded, well done.

I appreciate all the kind comments Spiros (@fiveten), John (@johnb), and George (@gblair).

I blended and sanded and polished the nose windows. The photo makes it look a bit odd, but in real life, they look pretty good. Not perfect but about as good as I can get them.

These were blended first with a file, then sanding sticks from 400 to 12000. Then sanding paper from 15000 to 60000 and finally polished with fine and finish grade Tamiya polish. Last thing was to apply a coat of Future (Pledge) to the exteriors.
Up next, the main canopy.

Perfect polishing, Carl @clipper
The nose windows look really clear.

Thanks Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb) and Ian (@ianfoulk96). I am flattered by your appreciation of my work, but I am simply a modeler who wants to explore aspects of this hobby and who is willing to try things to further that goal. My scratch building skills are still in their infancy as I have seen some truly fantastic work by masters of this hobby. I use their work as inspiration for myself to experiment and get better.

Thanks George (@gblair). The silver plastic does indeed make the old surface detail visible even after sanding it all down. Depending upon your desires for accuracy, it can sometimes lead to incorrect scribing or panel lines if the model is incorrect. But I generally evaluate each model as I do it when it comes to surface detail.

I go the main canopy installed and blended in as well as polished. I'm trying to avoid getting in a hurry and gluing on parts I will regret installing early, so it's an exercise in patience. I've started putting the tail planes together and this is definitely something I need to be patient with as there are some fit issues and seam work required on those parts which would be far more difficult after installation to the fuselage.

Depending upon my mood today (I also have other chores to attend to), I may tackle the cowlings. I have a silicone mold to try a casting, but I am also considering vacuum forming them instead so I can use the aftermarket engines I have.

And I looked at the kit gun turret. Comparing it to the photos I have, I can see that I am going to have to do quite a bit of work. The lower half of the kit part is grey plastic but the turret has clear areas, so I am considering options for this as well. I am pretty sure I will make a new lower section, either from casting clear epoxy, or vacuum forming clear plastic. I have .303 gun barrels coming but will need to make the breeches. I'll do some interior detailing, but at this scale, it will be very difficult to reproduce anything really detailed or intricate.

Great that you fitted the canopy and work on the tail planes, my friend @clipper! Looking forward to see you tackling the turret!
