Naw, just a bit crazier. Maybe.

You’re a braver man than me, Lyle. Well done, my friend.

Mounted the cowlings today....Williams Brothers. The gift that keeps on giving. . . if you own stock in putty and sandpaper companies. Both cowls need a touch of that operation. What to use? Bondo, Tamiya white, PPP, boogers?





And we descend ever deeper into AMS Madness. Here are the PE seat supports:



In place:

Use Milliput on those cowling gaps!

Some has abated. I just can’t do the seat pieces. No way. There are 5-6 pieces for each cockpit sidewall I’ll do...or, do what I can.

I bought the PE for the exterior stuff.

i have no idea how you folks that do much PE keep your sanity..oh, never mind. Anyway, here is one side of the cockpit



This picture shows a pair of throttle pieces on the left (folded into a U-shape) and a handle for a sidewall piece on the right.



Filled the cowling gaps with Milliput - I still can't get that stuff to work like everyone else. But, it was okay.

Wow, I would have skipped those tiny handles and knobs. Not worth it to me when they won't be seen. As for the Milliput, you did excellent! Those seams look perfectly filled and smooth.

The PE handles and knobs are always fun to keep track of. Nice work!

Mark, Declan - thanks for the kind words!
