I started doing some panel line work as well on the plane



you'll note the primer is still drying and the chartpack tape is still on the elevator.

And had to create an access panel on the bottom of the wing in order to make modifications for the electric conversion.





One thing I haven't been able to find yet is a set of electric retracts that can handle a 12lb or so plane that retract forward as the B-17's do. Dad had put fixed gear in the model back in the 70's, but I'd really like to swap those out for a set of electric retracts.
