Keep at it, I'm sure it's going to look good, and definately one not too many will have on their shelves I suppose. Your trials remind of my Corona-Corsairs, where I had to keep sanding, filling and fiddling for an eternity -even after they were painted. Keep it up

Amazing tenacity, Terri! Obviously you won't be beaten by this or any other kit!

Thanks Jeroen and Fredrik , I will keep at it taking steps forward and get her done . I started with the decaling last night and have the left side done . Right side will get applied this evening and hoping by the weekend I can start with the assembly .

Hurra ! Decals are on ...well for the most part . Still have the tamdum lines but before I do that I took the time to remove the fire wall and re-enforce the inside along the top seem and where the cab struts fit . With the resin being so damn thin now I'm hot sure how long this will hold up . So here is to hoping on that . I do have too added 2mm to the front on the fuselage after removing the cowl for repaint as well .Super glue can be a bitch to clean ! This is a quick fit and will be easy on blending this in , but I feel more comfortable knowing that it has added strength now .

Thanks you guys for the continuing support , you folks are awesome !

Tonight I worked on the new fire wall and had to change the way the engine mounts . Bot that is okay , this won't be seen away and will also add extra support on the nose of this beast . The seem has been putty and this needs to dry overnight and if things go well sanding , priming and painting will be done tomorrow . I didn't notice this before until the last round of pic's I posted and have address that as well . Behind the right stabilizer there was a dip from a file while fitting the stabs .

Thanks Rick , but I don't think the rest will be smooth sailing . However ; I do feel that the worst is over and I will not be doing any more filling or sanding . I have had my fill on that . Everything lines up now that is good and shouldn't have anymore issue in on finally assembly .

Other then a clear coat and two more decals to go which will be tomorrows evenings goal I'm back on track and can finally continue with the rigging and mounting the middle wings .

Ta...da !
