Hi Daniel
before you had riveted the wings you should have filled the sink marks! .. on my model it was sufficent to sand the wings to get rid of them, but it looks quite heavy on your kit:
all the best

Hi Daniel,
Great job on the riveting. How is the Trumpeter tool to work with? Would you recommend it?

Now I´m going to do the same with the 24v panel. In both cases I sanded from the inside in order to sharpen the wall,

Very impressive Dan ! The PE parts for the wheel wells sure add life to that area more . was there any thinning to do in that area for them to fit ?

Lovin' it, Daniel! I'm enjoying the access panels a lot- I have them for the 190. The radios and things in the rear fuse look really impressive- thanks for posting!
