looks like you've gotten rid of those seams. That to me is the hardest part of planes, trying to get rid of the fusealoge (however you spell it) seam. Lot of hard work there. Lets see some more (pictures that it) as you progress.

Well, that's looking good !
But why don't you have more of the build completed before you dothat painting ? You might just damage that nice paint while you do the building...
Anyway, that's agood start on that model !

:-) MMMMM I'll echo what penpen has said, what you have done looks good, I'm intrigued by the fact that you have started painting before a) The main construction is completed, there's a lot more handling to come yet, and b) before the fuselage halves are joined, you will find it hard to join them wiyhout damaging the paint. The demarcation line, particularly on the starboard side, looks a little ragged, what tape are you using? When I mask off for a straight edge I always lay the tape on a hard surface (I use a piece of glass) and cut a straight edge to the tape. Canopy looks good, what did you use to mask that.

OK understood. Are you masking the canopy when you spray on the matt coat? I'm still intrigued by the fact that you are painting it in this unbuilt state? :-)
