Tail is on and the elevators are canted to the right when viewed head on. :headbang: There will be no straightening here...they are glued, CA'd and puttied. Oh well...

Working on this thing would seem to be like wrestling a giant, angry octopus in a phone booth.

LOL! I like it! Thanks for the memories; I built one some years ago. Mine was done as a bomber so I would have all three V Bombers done. I wouldn't mind getting another of these to make a tanker.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Damn that's big. That would never fit in my spray booth.

I have one of those ubiquitous ones you can get cheap online, so nope, it doesn’t fit. Took it outside today to get a coat of primer on it.

The B/N had quite a view from the nose of the bomber!

Got that masked today. When this thing took a dive off the bench, it broke the probe, and a bit of the tip of the nose. Now I have to figure out how to restore that. I bet that was a fun ride.

That's bloody awesome Lyle!

Sorry to hear of your mishap, although with the size of the thing it's hardly a surprise - I'm sure you'll get it fixed!

There is putty in that spot. Letting it sit overnight.
