Wings and horizontal stabilizers..
Won't take much to clean this up...he said before it explodes! It really isn't bad, except for the glue blowout on the port stab. Some CA has filled a few places on the other seams. I'm pretty pleased right now. Think I'll have some punch. Some will get it, most won't.

Excellent work so far Lyle! I do hope though that the hammer stays put away.

So far the hammer is in the safe! I, for some reason, could not get the canopy to stay glued together. So, it is going on in halves. Fit is actually okay. Due to an assembly mod (error), the cockpit bulkhead is making a dandy shelf to rest the rear portion of the canopy. Sometimes, I even amaze myself!

Thank you, Kenny. Good to hear you are mending. those types of injuries can take time, as you are well aware.
For all the dread and such, given what you hear on Williams Bros. kits, this one has been one of the easier kits to put together. I know there are gotchas out there waiting, though...

Applying the masks I made with my trusty dividers and the Silhouette Studio software. In this case, their rounded corner rectangle offering was the cat's meow. We shall see of they pull out the Micro Krystal Klear window...I guess that is not a problem, though. There was a big, HUH? I was putting the mask on the last window and it simply fell through. I was indeed surprised. The window had, at some point, fallen into the fuselage. I was able to shake it out, trim the opening a bit and glue it from the outside. It will do.

It’s coming together nicely though! I can remember the Monogram B-17 doing the same to me
