Is this the same plane that was fighting you? That looks so fine now with all the scars hidden.

My reaction too - the first thing I said when I saw it Lyle was Wow! That does indeed look great! Well done sir!

Yeah. I don't think she is done just yet. Main gear, front glass, all that there stuff. Problematic. Slow going with a lot of test fits. I don't like to paint prior to all that, but having already painted the windscreen/cockpit top....not much choice. I'll take it easy. I like how it looks so far. I think this is what i'm aiming for....

Ok what did you do with the blob of putty and plastic you was playing with?
For real Lyle I knew you could fight this thing into shape can't wait to see her finished now.

Thanks, Stuart. I'm still grinning after the painting. There is a bit of "debris"...I guess from paint particles air-drying on the way to the model. Some 0000 steel wool and a light touch will take care of that.

Considering the amount of sanding and filling you've done I'm not surprised!

Glad there are no more children in the future....they would be named Phil and Sandy
