Thanks. It is still pretty rough. Not having.much luck covering the intake vanes. I do believe they will be okay?

I'm sure they will. I've just taken a look at the ones on Mine - now I see what the issue is

- what a crappy bit of design!

I think on this kit the “engines” were too tall. I really expected more from RoG. But, if this an old Matchbox mold, who knows?
The fuselage hit the floor (yes, by accident) a while ago and the seams popped. Repaired, but a lot of sanding.

Where do you find the room for such monsters?

Right now, it all is kinda in a jumble. I don’t have room or shelves!

May try to do more later. What time I had this morning before the plumbers showed up was spent sanding edges and seams on sub assemblies....elevators, wing parts, tanks and more filler on the long tube-y thing where the people sit. There won’t likely be a lot of surface detail left.

Wings are on and so be the canopy. She is a big girl, that is for sure! Struggling with the fit and finish....as seems to be the case on this one. Not sure why.

It may be fighting you. But it sure is taking shape nicely Lyle. You’re looking great here so far!
And yeah, between this and the goose, where will they go?

Thanks, Carlos. I guess they will go where ever they want. I did move a shelf around for some space out in the basement ….

Looks great so far. I need to move forward on some of my big aircraft now.
