Thanks guys, things are still going along pretty well with it. Last night I put it all back in the jig so I could fit the upper wing panels and that worked out really well, I was able to drill into the root ends for the wires on the cabane struts and now I could glue them in place and fit all the interplane stuts if I wanted to, but I still have a little work to do on the fuselage before I commit to mounting the wings.
For one thing I want to rethink the way I was going to mount the radiators, I had it all wrong and have some holes to fill and sand. I think now I will just sand them even thinner and mount them with some thin standoffs and forget about trying to replicate all the plumbing!
I also need to decide on a color scheme which I'm having a bit of trouble with- I would like to do an overall light blue machine but haven't come across any definitive photos or profiles of a particular aircraft. I've also seen some other models on the 'Net that are mostly light blue but have medium gray on the fuselage top and sometimes the upper surfaces of the wings as well. I kinda like the look of the overall light blue, maybe with all the struts, braces and metalwork in gray/green. I may end up doing a "generic" type model along those lines.
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement, it is appreciated!
