Citadelgrad Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looking great. You are very close to me, i live in Fullerton and have been working on the same kit in the same scheme since 2017. pretty straightforward. Some correct the cowl height, and there are sink marks, shallow ones, on the bottoms of the wings and belly of the fuselage. I filled mine with mr surfacer. Other than that, the kit goes together really well. watching with interest. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomp, Rockin Taco, and my favorite The Old Spaghetti Factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really looked at the wings too close yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant recover my own photo after the great photobucket purge, but you can see it on page one of my build, first photo i ever posted here really shallow but pretty visible. after i painted the wings, i noticed two more on the top of the wing just ahead of the flaps. I left those….but they are the same, about two inches long and pretty apparent. Edited March 13, 2022 by Citadelgrad Ayovan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayovan Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Joined the fuselage halves tonight. The seams look really good. Maybe just a little Mr. Surfacer in a few spots.

I would have never imagined in a million years, how the last year has been. Crazy stuff... Well it's been a week and a 1/2 back on the job. Man am I out of shape...lol. The mind says yes, but the body says, WTH are you doing??? Also got a reminder about a few things I haven't had to deal with for 14 months. L.A. traffic. I forgot how many L.A. drivers suffer from chronic rectal/cranial inversion. Apprentices. I forgot just how many of them cannot follow basic instructions. I have 3 of them, that together have the same combined I.Q. as a box of rocks. Building inspectors....ummmmm. I don't even want to say what I'm thinking about him right now. It could land me in jail... Oh, did I mention...HOW FREAKIN OUT OF SHAPE I AM???????? Citadelgrad, MikeMaben and Jeff T 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayovan Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 No progress this week so far. My body is still rebelling against working again but I think I made it over the hump. I actually have a little energy left, to try and get some modelling in today. Ima go play with the wings on this thing.
