Thanks Mark. But with as many kits as you work on concurrently, I’m sure one of them, if not several of them, have to show visible progress frequently.

Very nice work on the cockpit, Carlos!

Thanks John. All I’ve been doing lately is getting the wings ready for attachment. I need a few more details that I need to attend to there before I glue them in place.

Wing attachments, as I’ve learned, involve a lot of care and attention. I’m glad I figured that out early. It’s all about attending to the details, test fit a lot, and make sure it’s all just right.

You’ll do fine I’m sure, but good luck anyway! I can’t wait to see the photos.

Thanks Kenny. I slathered on a coat of Mr Surfacer into the intake surfaces to fill the last seam bits and will sand them up in the next day or so. Then there are a couple of splitters that go into the intake openings before I can attach the wings. And yes, planning and preparation go a long way in dealing with attaching the wings.

Starting to take shape now! The wings are on!!!!



I had to use some shims on the lower seam to insure proper dihedral.



Now comes the seam clean up,,, lots on this one....

Missed you, bud. It's nice to see how you're handling these fit issues! Looks great!!!

Nice, very nice with those PE parts in the wheel wells !

Thanks guys. It’s getting there finally. Now we just have to see how much sandi g is involved to smooth out the wing roots...

Interesting to see how small the booms must be to fit those small fairings.
