Hi Dave, just wanted to say really nice work on your Jack. I always thought the Jack was a pretty good looking aircraft. What scale is it? What kit is it? Just wanted to chime in and say you should be proud of your work. It looks good. Russell
P.S. Seam work takes some time to get right. I enjoy using some super glue then running some water over the super glue to cause it to harden quickly. Then I sand to smooth letting the seam take whatever it wants of the filler material.

Nice job Dave! I'm currently working out my own issues with starting out model aircraft builiding. I wouldn't worry to much about the details you are focusing on, I think they're going to be resolved after you have a few more kits under your belt.
