I have since my last visit, closed up the fuselage, cleaned up the seams (primer will tell whether I've finished those seams) and stuck another large block of Pb in the nose requiring butchery of the engine mount to get it in there. A viewing of pictures of my friends aircraft showed propeller blades of different profile than whats in the kit. In any case, a few pictures of the work in progress;

The kit prop.

Added some plastic  to reprofile the blades

Progress slow and is at least one respect, not all that good but, still moving ahead.

A solid 3 days of masking (some obviously didn't pan out)

My masking of the range extenders is...lacking

A look at how it should all come together hopefully sometime soon, the windshield is not glued in yet.

Just noticed as well, the model has a noticeable lean to the right side
