Get a water trap and add it to the bottom of the airbrush. It makes an excellent grip.

So that's why! LOL I really wanted to be there. Mom wasn't having it this morning. It happens from time to time now.

Got some clean-up on the vents, but overall I am happy with them. I have a little design flaw to fix. This is Tamiya polyester putty. (When this tube is gone I will replace it with Bondo.) And finally in my random order of building I am performing a little surgery and will replace with mesh...

Once again, just brilliant. I feel like the tones are closer to what I think of as natives. Out of a "how did he do that" curiosity, did you use transparent glazes or a more dry approach? I get the sense you used dry since you mentioned not working too wet. I like to work wet, and use glazes...

You know I am going to get out the soldering iron...right? Siiiigghhhhh

Well, IDK. The fins are better, but the vent ribs are not. I tried four different ways to make them and none of them are good. I shouldn't have been afraid to try the soldering iron I guess. It is still better than the kit parts though...I think I decided to zig zag the strips, first in metal...

Maybe this

Still makes me think of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers when I see her though.

But but but...you did!

Oooh, yes. You mean the outer visible edge, right? Yes. I'm on it. Ooooh, wait...metal? and a then kerf in the edging for lateral support? Same with the vent ribbing. This is why I love this place.

It is astonishing, and light years beyond OTB. It is a thread that will be referenced by anyone building this or a similar kit. You have set the bar very high Paul.

"Made up"?!! That's just wrong on every level!

Great plane and beautifully done. Like Pup said, it's really clean.

Nice and clean! Wish I could do that...
