I have it sanded and need a bit more filler, I also opened the hole near the rear left engine for the smoke tube. The C kit does not have that tube so I will stretch a sprue to make one...the old Hasegawa Blue Angels kit had one but it was grossly oversized.

I have 3 stiffeners made for the left inner tail. The other side needs more putty as there was a gap. I also filled the holes in the bottom surface for non used pylons.

The tail braces are finished. Getting close to paint time.

Maybe Wednesday or so for paint. I need to do some fine sanding to get rid of some scratches and paint the wheel wells then mask.
