Dry Fitting



Glued in place. I believe I have the correct angle of the wings set. The tips should be just about level with the top of the pilots windows. The gaps you see will be filled in with evergreen styrene



Here is what I used o fill the gap where the wing meets the fuselage.

Horizontal control surfaces in place





Now that the wings are in place I had to modify my lego jig.



The last thing I did was fill the gaps with Mr Surfacer 500 and let it sit over night

Till next time thanks for looking

Last nights advancements included the masking of old 666 for what will undoubtedly be several passes with the airbrush.



Ready for some paint


Thanks to those following. Till next time
