Well early in the morning Here in Texas, Looks like WE got about 3" of rain last night still 68 degrees. But never fear WE have more coming, I worked on the Moth till midnight last night, after cleaning up Thanks Giving, I left Her with the Wings cemented together & the fuel tank.

This is where I stand this morning, after I put the lower wing spar on backwards, luckily the cement hadn't set when I discovered this problem. Oh I didn't have to amputate, but lost one arm due to poisoning of pilot, I'll look at fixing that, but the fuse is together & Like I said, you can't see any of the detail, I painted inside, except the I/P's :pilot

C&C Welcome, Cheers :drinks - Gerry :pilot

Thanks Fellers the wings will be painted aluminum, I primed them flat black this morning, maybe tonight, the arm fell off because placement in fuse is very tight, I'll fix ... don't even worry about it, thanks for looking in fellers, finish is coming. :pilot :pilot

Well this is probably a 60's kit I bought because of the size, I don't like itty-bitty AC, the old kits didn't make anything extra to make the kit decent. So One pilot is just as good as Two so let's just include two of the same, just the pose is hard to modify as they are very large men and barley fit in the pit.
