Wow, I've been following along and one of the things that impressed me the most was that canopy fit! What a Magnificent smooth job! Man, I gotta quit! I'm not worthy!

Thanks Mike , Bob , Dave . The grinding continues. No wonder you don't see these built all the time :pinch:
The nose pieces continue to be a bit of mystery I'm starting to think a number of teenagers created this thing during the summer months .
Event the parts tree drawing is missing numbers that are called out in the assembly diagram
Glad I have two noses for this build . The first needed a lot of buffing . Finally damaged it.
The second started cracking around the machine gun port and continued getting worse ( upper ).
.
Tried to var-form the dome but that did't work either , so I cut out the front windows and hope to reassemble enough parts to make it work.
WOOF ! Christian B)

Thanks Christian. I do a lot of that already with every build. Good to know I'm doing something right, especially the prayers.... :huh:

Thanks guys 
The nose piece has been quite the quagmire but I just buffed it and It's as good as I know how to make it.
Unfortunately I have no way of buffing the inside , so it is what it is :idonno . The gun barrel will be mounted after the paint .
Now I can look at the wings

Exceptional job on the nose! I never would have done as well. This is most impressive!

Thank you everyone . This morning I glued the wings to the fuselage . Not exactly a marriage made in Heaven ( more of the same )
I was making such a mess trying to make them mate that I decided to close the rest of the wheel wells to keep the junk from migrating to the fuselage
