Thanks Bob. I'll try :drinks Had a bit of a time getting her closed up. I sanded down the bulkheads some & the dry fit went ok but, when I actually sat down & glued it, it was a whole different story!! fought me part of the way but, in the end, I it senseless!! :evil:

 

[Hippy Ed]

More filling & sanding to do yet... oh my!! :gogo

 

[Hippy Ed]

Ok,I got carried away this evening... Got the seams on the fuselage filled & smoothed, looked over the wings & found they needed some work before I could install them so, fill & sand, sand & fill... cat in my lap :S sand & fill off to the side, cat under chin. Not getting any where, cat nuzzling my nose... :gogo drop sanding stick :frantic cat jumps down after it.
I pick it up & set it on the bench, set B-26 on bench, turn towards tv & watch Ancient Aliens. Cat nowhere near me... I pick up kit,check seams, load up applicator with Tenax, close bottle, soon as I get wing in place, applicator at the readyin the other hand & Psycho's back in my lap!! :facepalm But, as of now, the wings are on. :dance :geek :drinks Move to computer & cat's curled up in my lap purrin' up a storm
He's a good cat, altho he can be a pain at times...
Pics will be taken tomorrow & posted. Stay tuned :drinks

Old pic but, that's him...

Looking good. Made me laugh too. My young fellow last night did the same and when I got fed up he walked to the center of the table and curled up and watched. Then when I tried to glue som PE on he was right in my face. Oh well, Cats you got to love em.
