Put one of the outer wings on and was adding the other. The second one wasn't fitting right. Did some research and discovered that I had them on the wrong sides. At least the glue wasn't too set and was able to fix it.

well, it looks mighty fine now!

The marriage between the fuselage halves is always a big step. I think yours went very well.

This is how it sits now. I might actually have to start painting now.

Any ideas on how to paint this damn thing. I know I gotta paint the areas that will be hidden by the intakes. Should I paint the rest of it while I'm at it?
