Terri,
I'm taking a break from working outside, eating lunch and really enjoying your update. That's
one nice build you're cooking up.

                                     Thanks,
                                           Kevin

Thank you Kevin and Gary . Seems are cleaned up waiting a coat of primer to see how well I actually did on the filling but there is a few things first . Also made on start on getting the engine by getting it cleaned up . More progress to follow  :)

This is shaping up really well Terri. Forward thinking and planning always pays off in my experience, although it is not always possible to avoid filler! However if the parts fit closely that it good enough - filler deals with the remainder!!

Thanks Stephen  :)

I do try to get the best possible fit and that can be challenging at times . The less putty the better  ;)

 Since the forward fuselage is sanded so thing doesn't leave a lot of gluing surface for the cowl which is also thinned . So the front frame work sits 1mm past the resin fuselage . The inner cowl fits this perfectly giving me a second gluing edge for added strength . The cowl is almost ready for primer , still need to thin around the three lower cooling holes . The PE parts for the cowl side excess panels are to big . My PE parts bin might have something more suited if not will be making new ones .

I opened up a air bubble on the under side of the fuselage which was okay I still have some blending at the join line . I knew a head of time that the left side of the fuselage is 1. 3 mm shorter then the right side . It was easier to address this once the halves where finally joined at the hip  ;) A piece of square scraps was super glued in sanded then filled and sanded again . Middle wings have their slots opened up for the inter/struts

Rest of the parts are cleaned up but the Struts still need to be pinned and make the landing gear legs . These aren't included in the kit ( this production run ) . So I need to find something that will be suited for this . The engine is together waiting for the push rods . Which brings me to the end of the weekend progress report  ;)

This is moving along nicely. I was not aware that there was more than the Fokker tridecker.

Superb, Terri!
Does the Eduard engine fits below the cowling? That would be good news!

Cheers,
Frank

This is moving along quite quickly now Terri. Good to read that you have been able to fill the holes and hide them with plastic - far better than filler!
