Here are a few pictures of the fues. I have sanded the thing till I can't sand no more. I decided to start the rivets and oh man are there many. My good friend Mike from the Lucky *******s said the plane was "dipped" in rivets and he was right. Many books/pictures/and online stuff later, I have the rivet plan down. I have only done one side and will be doing the other side soon. After that, I'm going to start on the panel lines on the wing. All my panel lines are raised in accordance with the books I have. I simply used the tape/spray/peel off method.
