I`m late, but those door pieces shouldn`t be bent, they are seal to wheelbays made of rubber.

Indeed they shouldn't.....thank's for pointing that out :speak_cool:

 

At the moment, my mistake is set right after i removed the bended pe part's from the wheel doors and flatten them back to the original setting.

 

 

Danny,

  Very nice work with the PE. Interesting point about the gear door seals. This is the 1st I've heard of that.

 

Joel

Thank's Joel, interesting indeed, i didn't know that either. :shrug:

 

 

 

Great job and thanks for the info on the tool going to order one

 

Keep going Mark 

Thank's Mark, with pleasure mate. :speak_cool:

 

 

 

Danny,

Make sure you check the fit of the enginecowling. The fitting of the engine should be sawn off and fitted one mm lower.

There should be a tweak list about here.

Yes indeed Cees, i knew about that. But thank's mate for pointing it out, much appreciated :speak_cool: 

 

 

 

Sold out at the moment  though.

I know it's a popular item, it will soon be back in stock i suppose.

Nice to see it was not FUBAR with the gear doors:-) Had the same problems with wheelsas you, I glued plastic strips inside the tires to preserve discs separate for painting, but your solution is also good, Personaly I also like the Deluxe materials putty very much.

Many thank's for the warning regarding the wheel doors.  :speak_cool:

 

Regarding the wheels, different technique, same result, that's the magic of modeling. :)

I wonder how many more Dottie Mae kits will be purchased after seeing this lovely build come together? 

Well done Danny!

Some mighty nice progress for sure. Very nice fix on the Brassin wheels but for what they cost, the fit should have been a lot better and no filler required. Drop tanks look very good both the the PE filler cap and the fix on the sway braces.

Keep 'em coming

Peter
