Beautiful cut. Nice and clean. If I ever have to have my pancreas removed due to acute pancreatitis from all the beer and whisky I drink, I want them to cut me up like this. It’s lovely. Excellent work.
She’s coming along very well!

Those big four engined bombers always look a bit daunting to me. So many props, bombs and glazing. But you make it look easy!

Trying to get back into the swing of things after a long, difficult month. I added some PE to the top side of the wings. Working on the bottom half of the wings.

I read through the entire thread to get up to speed! Beautiful prep work too date, sincerely. I feel you about the month itself. I have been waiting for supplies, waiting and waiting and waiting for supplies. Even though I am not dealing with any of the medical emergency issues you are, I still feel I am in a holding pattern waiting to do something. I guess I could go clean flash off parts... all the best, Mike. Sincerely.

More PE work. On the left you can see how it was before. Then I cut out and added the PE to those areas. Two down and six more to go.
