Got the nacelles on and almost completed blending them in with the wings - just a little more work to do as there were some quite a significant gaps as well as a step on top were they join the wing. Next up to finish the engines and attach them, then it's pretty much time to lay on some colour....

Looking good Why does it appear to have all that putty aft of the nose well ? Did I miss some trauma ?

Hi Christian, yup fair bit of Plastic surgery (pardon the pun) in that area. Just need to re-scribe some lines there but yup bit of a poor fit.

Too bad. Seems like a bit of an odd place for it

Dang, look like it hit the body shop. Sand fill repeat.

Looks like you're wrestling it in to submission... I've built two of these and those nacelle joints really are a p.i.t.a !!

[Gator]

Very nice progress.

 

[jugjunkie]

Thanks Guys, yeah the problem with that area where the putty is, is where the front of the bomb bay door meets up at the joint between the two fuselage halves. The two thin strips of the fuselage halves poke up and there is nothing under them to secure to. But it worked out all good, once it has been scribed and sprayed it will look perfect.

Those areas always seem to have issues.

OH MAN!!!!!

Never seen that scheme before. There seems to be some stars missing on that flag, was the real one like that or is something more to that decal?

Not sure MP, i thought the stars were missing too, but that's how they came, My guess it's like the swastika thing - idiots wanting to be politically correct.

Wow, this thing is looking rather good . Waiting for the finally
