I wasted no time getting back to the bench after going to the San Antonio show. I added the front windscreen so that I can blend it in. It's not bad, just needs a little work. I've also started cleaning up the wings. I'm going to get some metal or plastic tube to insert into the exhaust to hide the seams that would be impossible to get rid of.

Thanks Stuart!

I got some metal tubing to insert into the exhausts. They would have been impossible to clean up. I took a wing with me and found some that fit perfectly. I cut them and they look great. Now to glue them in and then I can attach the wings to the fuselage.

Most definitely an improvement!

The brass tubing is a perfect replacement! :shoutout:

Well when I went to fit the wings, the tubing that I used fowled up against the fuselage. Had to bust out the dremel and sand away the areas that were in the way. It looks horrible but none of that will be seen.
