Thanks, Clint!

10-4, buddy! Looks like the real aircraft did.



Tonight I will open up the exhausts on the other half. I would like to pick up my pace on this project slightly, so I may also cut open the area for the rear section canopy. UPS will deliver supplies to me today - sandpaper and paint, basically. I’m going to sketch the paneling on the fuselage after I prime both halves.

Wow, what a tremendous improvement those new exhausts create! Way to go Bruce! I'm so looking forward to seeing more magic coming from your bench!

You’re the magician, Mark, perhaps we all are to an extent. I sent a message to you about the upcoming hobby day. I hope to attend and spend a few hours with this kit.

That would be awesome if you could attend. I understand if difficulties get in the way. Still, if you do come, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you get done while building alongside fellow modelers.

Duke, best laid plans… plus further thoughts on Heinkel’s exhaust design.

Great looking mods so far on this Bruce. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next

No worries Bruce. Looks like you have the exhaust design well in hand.

Brent,

Thanks so much for writing. I truly appreciate your comments.

Likewise, Mark!

I think I could add front and rear caps to get the flavor of what is an entire piece of framing. We shall see.

Hey! I worked on this. I worked on both halves of the fuselage, thinning out the cockpit side walls, opening up the canopy area, etc. I applied Silver Gray Milliput in a loose wet mix to fill in gaps and cutting imperfections.

Wow - lots of work there brother. Maybe you can sell it back to them to make correct moulds
