It's been one of those days....closed up the B-2. Feeling cocky, it felt pretty smooth. I primed it.....whoops.

Silly ol' me.

Since the wife doesn't mind the raised edges around the intakes, those may stay as they are. Besides, I'm already knee deep in Bondo dust!

While the putty was drying yet again, I dug out the good old Do-335 - Promptly knocked it off the desk. Yep. Damage? One horizontal stabilizer...Check,
Both props knocked off....Check, both props loosing a blade...Check. Handcrafted dorsal antenna mashed? Check....

All is glued back together now.

well, no. But it is relaxing and peaceful and :scream: and I'm having fun.

Sadly, this is not out of the ordinary for me. I'm like a bull in a china shop!

Hey, Brent! How are you getting along? Hope you are well..

Patience, Barhopper, Patience! The biggest problem is the lack of attach points inside the upper wing leading edge. That and the crappy fit, and the soft, soap-like plastic and the fit. Did I mention the fit?

I'll get it to the point of being "done" soon.

Good Morning, Thomas!

The pictures are there - at least for me....must be some sort of eye protection on your end. You know, not letting you look at such a mess!
