Thanks, Rick...I like the wood too. I'm not sure if I'll try varnishing with some semi gloss or not. Maybe just leaving it as is will be best.
Tonight I added the tails, rigged them and got the ventral tank in place under the center section. I think it's a tank, but I'm not too sure. Anyway...I wasn't sure how the stab went on and looking at the real plane, it seems part of the decking is cut so that's what I did. This isn't clear on the model or the "plans" for the model. My fix looks ok when done.
And here's that tank. It went on really nicely and included some straps too.
And one last one.
Just noticed I also added the gun housings on either side as well!
Next are some engine exhausts and then the fuselage will be done after some more seam treatment on that turtle decking. Then, on to the lower wings. Going apace now!
Cheers,
Dan
