The fuselage is finally glued together. The fit is not too bad. The wing center section is just dry fitted. Gary S.

These tail wheel doors have become quite a project. Made a fairing from a bomb taken from the Mustang kit. Don't know how accurate it is, but it looks better I think. The horizontal stab was installed and needs a little more filling of knock outs underside near the tips. Gary S.
Fair representation I would say. Good job Gary.

The main gear doors are glued shut. The fit is not too bad. Then the wing hinges per instructions and the wings did not line up so I flipped the hinges and that solved the alignment issue. There's a small fit issue under the nose in front of the wing which is being filled with Crazy glue. Gary S.

Finally got the wings together without too much trouble. Added belly tank and started on the bombs. Now if I can stop getting glue on my fingers and spreading it on the model and not ending up with a hairball. Gary S.
About to bring it all together Gary.
Is this the motorized kit that had the switch on the bomb rack, slide it back and forth to turn on the motor?

No, it's from stuff I've been collecting over the years and there's a lot of it. Just ask my wife.
As far as the model goes. The places where the hinges are was a depression the was filled with a couple of layers of sheet plastic. The oil cooler fairings need cleaning up along with the wing seams. The slot for the belly tank was enlarged in order to pass the wire for the motor.
The batteries will be in the base somehow.
