Looking good.  I'll be interested to see how you weather this as I have a silver-doped finish in the future somewhere.

Thanks Gaz! If there's any weathering, it'll be light as I don't tend to go too heavy with it.

I've been working on the fuselage seam. The upper one had been fairly straightforward to fill and clean up. In fact, it barely needed anything.

The lower side has been more work though. The halves joined in a concave manner so I've needed a bunch of filler to level things. I was primarily using CA for this but I've had to use some Tamiya putty in the end. Hopefully it'll sand out nicely.

Got a bit more done today. After checking the seams were ok, I added the PE stitching.

I then put a coat of paint on. For the silver, I'm using Tamiya silver lacquer. Seems to have enough of a full appearance to look like silver dope rather than metal

My eldest saw the fuselage and said:

"Cool, I didn't  know you're building a submarine."

Thanks everyone!

I did a quick mockup as I'm going to have figure out the wing struts next  How does this look?

Do the wings seem to be level? 

After I did that mockup, I realized the lower wing needs to have its dihedral added to make things sit correctly. So I'm going to have to try again.
