Thanks Stuart! Working on Bug #2 today. No internet so I was really working at it. Test fitted the front windscreen and it fits without issues.

Looking good Mike! Glad the windscreen fit in well
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That is some super surgery, Mike. It looks sharp.

Front of the Hornet is looking good! Do you prime your scribe/repair areas to check your work?

Thanks! Not really. The black paint in the front is from when I primed a bunch of parts prior to starting the build. I took these to my wife's studio one weekend so that I had something to work on.

Gotcha! I don't always use primer either but your situation, with lots of sanding and and rescribing work on a surface that is somewhat complex and not flat, it might be beneficial to give it a shot of primer. Or just roll with it.

The F / A-18 is getting closer and closer to my field of vision, now with the new kit from Meng and the many from Kinetic.
