I know it's been a while. Not sure if anyone is following along, but it's been lots of prep for finishing.



this is how the wingtip light base was finished




the outer wing panels have the all the panel lines in place. I have sprayed on primer and will let that cure before I complete the finish sanding.

I have rivets and hatches on order from Chad. So on to the fuselage.



I taped the windshield frame in place and found it worked best to add a little wax on top of the tape to make sure the icing released well.
This area is thin. I can only hope it stays in tact until I get the frame glued in to add some support.





Lots of sanding a filling required. I have the center section attached for reference to the wing panels.




I also started working on the polystyrene for the center bomb section.
