Tail is on and the elevators are canted to the right when viewed head on. 
There will be no straightening here...they are glued, CA'd and puttied. Oh well...
Working on this thing would seem to be like wrestling a giant, angry octopus in a phone booth.

LOL, man that thing is HUGE
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Re: Lyle’s Jet GB subject is ...
LOL! I like it! Thanks for the memories; I built one some years ago. Mine was done as a bomber so I would have all three V Bombers done. I wouldn't mind getting another of these to make a tanker.
Looking forward to seeing more.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

I have one of those ubiquitous ones you can get cheap online, so nope, it doesn’t fit. Took it outside today to get a coat of primer on it.

Got that masked today. When this thing took a dive off the bench, it broke the probe, and a bit of the tip of the nose. Now I have to figure out how to restore that. I bet that was a fun ride.

Re: Lyle’s Jet GB subject is ...
That's bloody awesome Lyle!
Sorry to hear of your mishap, although with the size of the thing it's hardly a surprise - I'm sure you'll get it fixed!

There is putty in that spot. Letting it sit overnight.
