Thanks All for your positive and encouraging comments. This one is trying my patience a little, so words such as yours are most welcome and keep the enjoyment factor in the "black"!
I have another update and photos before getting serious about the rigging and going final on this Build. First, the weathering completed two days back, which is mostly to the undersurfaces.
and now "True Confessions" time...........I rarely get through a Build without at least one "head up posterior" total Gaff, and this hopefully will suffice for this little project! I discovered that at some point I managed to drop the lower surface of the bottom wing into a puddle of Medium CA I had on a piece of tile. DOH!!!!!!! I've cleaned it up as best I could without lifting the paint and decals, given it a coat of Semi Gloss Acryl, and will now just pretend it's not there!
Looking pretty nasty........
and after the repairs.........
Since the completion of that nasty little episode the pre-rigging has been completed, upper wing mounted and all struts in place, and I'm ready to complete the rigging. I've got her perched on the assembly jig only to steady her for rigging.
And a couple of quick overall shots to complete the update......
Once the rigging is complete the landing gear will be installed, the tail rigged, and She should be moving to the Completed Models Section.
Cheers,
Lance
