Ok guys, under this pile of cans, batteries and everything else I could find lies the Great Balsa Monster. He is dead! I bet i have 500 hours in the wings/tail just to get them assembled. I still have lots of small trim balsa work, speed brakes, tip tanks and gear doors to finish on the wings, hours of sanding and fiberglassing but the worst is behind me. As for the fuselage I still need to install the intakes, cockpit kit, finish the nose gear door and install about a gazillion ABS trim parts. This kit has been the most challenging project in my 60 year modelling journey.
