  1. About 80% of the painting is done and I expect to get the rest done either later today or tomorrow AM. Coming along pretty well.
  2. Just about ready for the gloss white.
  3. I guess it is what it is Peter and we just have to work with it. It makes for a "learning experience" (I hate that phrase!) and you know what to expect on future builds.
  4. Thank you Kevin. It was still a problem but not quite as bad. Lots of putty and sanding. LOL
  5. Shelf of Doom
  6. I was very disappointed as I wanted to get this one built. Cool looking airplane. Oh well. 😕
  7. Thanks Carl. I plan to do a Atlantic schemed one at some point.
  8. LOL Thanks!
  9. Turned out about the same so I'll stay with the 1st one.
  10. Thanks. I'm going to do another prop and use chrome silver instead of the Alclad aluminum since the real one was chrome. We'll see how it turns out.
  11. Revell kit and Draw decals. Pretty much OOB except FineMolds belts and racer mods. Just getting started. Stay tuned.
  12. Pretty bad for sure.
  13. Looking good Peter. NICE work.
  14. LOL I'm glad I checked this before proceeding with more work.
  15. I decided to test fit the vac canopies before going any furthur. I'm glad I did because, as you can see, they are too wide and a bit too long. I don't know how I'd correct that so I'm going to put this one on the SOD. 😕
  16. So far this is the only really poor fitting area although some others don't fit all that well either. I've done some work on it to try to fix it and it looks like it might be okay. Dremel and white putty LOL.
  17. Test fitting the cowlings. NOT good. This area is the worst fitting so far. Possible SOD candidate but not just yet.
  18. Fuselage joined up. Quite a bit of sanding and puttying needed.
  19. Thanks Peter. I really like the kit (except for the very fiddly landing gear and wheel well stuff). I might decide to do another in the Atlantic gray/white scheme. Would fit right in.
  20. Fingers crossed on that Peter!
