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
