I'm following jacks lead and not going to knock myself out with the rivets, as I'm only planning on replacing the ones I've lost sanding.

Hi Mark

Just checking on how you made out with the main gear wells. I'm just about at the same place you are now, having removed the kit wheel wells, spent a lot of time sanding and then more sanding but it's smooth as glass now on the inside. Test fitting shows the outer gear box to be way to thick and will need to be sanded down a lot.. Have you taken a look at the problem yet? I'll be having more fun sanding and filing in the morning.

The wheelbays from aires are against the side of the feuselage.

So i have marked on the insideof the feuselage where the are touching.

Hi Mark

Just went back and removed the landing gear square plug on the upper wing and also one injector pin mark as well. Fit is so much better and with a bit of tweaking, I should be good to go. Will be devoting my modeling time today to finishing up the forward portion of the fuselage and all the sub assemblies. I finally have all the resin parts dry fitted - IP, cowling and nose gear well and with a bit of tweaking, all the parts now fit without any squeezing or pressure.

Thanks for the help

Peter

Hi Mark

Fantastic progress on the Sabre ... I'm slow and seams getting a bit slower compared to your build.

Sure hope to be able to post an update later today.

Keep 'em coming

Peter
