Oh well! Gives me something to do! These two are easy ones. Next are the wings!

Lyle, you are to commended for your tenacity and perseverance on this project.

Thanks. We’ll see!

This is a perfect example of how my brain works...or, in this case, doesn't work.

I didn't want to mess with the WB props in the kit. I was looking around on that Entry-net and found some.



This is great! They look to be one-piece and PAINTED! Score......It didn't matter that they are Czech made, orderred from Austrailia and sent to the Mid-Western US...Kentucky. I ordered two.

Side note, these arrived faster than a couple of usb cables I ordered on Amazon for the Canon Powershot (which I'm not impressed with at all). UPS lost them, i guess....as they said on their updates it was a "SORTATION ERROR". What the hell is a "sortation error". Amazon has refunded my money and now, according to UPS the cables have been routed correctly. This is my life.

Anyway, the propes arrived yesterday. This is what they actually are.





Yes, I know. Duh.

On the bright side, I have props for the second WB C-46 kit.

wing roots






What "panel lines" there were are pretty much gone. I'd rather have a smooth surface for the BMF finish. Wings went in place with very little trouble. Still need to finish sanding those areas out with finer grit and then polish.

Great progress Lyle! Looking forward to paint.

Excellent sanding work Lyle! This is looking great so far!

You're getting there, Lyle. Press on!

Mark and John, thank you. Still filling and sanding a few spots, but I hope that things start going a little faster!
