Didn't really do anything on this one today, but here's a picture of the filled areas. Probably time to move on with this one, maybe the wings and engines.

That’s good looking! Love the lines.

Got the wings on, the glasswork is masked and painted black for the interior color, and sufficient weight is in the nose to keep it on the gear. I used that silly expensive paste they sell for pine car derby cars. I'm helping three of the grandkids work on them. The armament and tip tanks are glued up and ready for the seam party. I have to put a 3/16 plug in the tip tanks because they are short and don't extend far enough forward of the wing. I'm ready for the rain to stop.

Right on! Looking like an airplane - I sense paint coming soon. Are you going to paint her like the box art?
Thanks,
John
