TEA break! There aint no dang tea break after work like that has been accomplished! You're talkin' a full blown beer party celebration after that one right there Bruce.

Pain not having access to postimage here at the office. I have to peek on the cel phone if I want to see the pics.

Gun upgrade looks great! You may want to push the barrels a little further in...

Thanks so much, John! I will make the adjustment tonight. I truly appreciate you following along with the progress so far, and your ideas are always extremely helpful!

Everyone-

Here is a conundrum. The kit wing looks too short and the panel lines are spaced too closely together. I believe the solution will be to remove or at least reduce the red putty line where I have placed my red arrow. I have also used a Trumpeter 1/32 profile underneath simply as a color guide. That is for the G-10 I will build.



My primary guide is this photo (Thank you, Carlos and John for both providing versions of this photo; here I am including John’s version):



Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Bruce you are really flying along with this one! Great attention to detail!

Thank you so much, Brent! Sincerely!

I hear ya, Joe! When it’s cold and damp like it is concurrently a hot cup of tea is a life saver to me!
