Nicely done!

Looks like you're giving this one some really good treatment Mike. Can't wait to see the outcome of the windscreen area blending.

Thanks guys! I'll get the masks in tomorrow. I almost forgot to rescribe the engines so I'm doing that now.

Finally looks more like an Orion! Masks are on and all the clear parts are in. The stupid mask set didn't include masks for all the side windows so I'll have to do that next.

Kind of surprising the side window masks aren't included

That is strange!

Oh well. Tamiya tape and an Xacto to the rescue.

Got the wind screen and windows masked off. Wings are glued on. The horizontal stabilizers are just dry fitted but will be glued up next.

So I had to make some sacrifices with the wing. I felt like I wanted the upper wing roots to be the best fitting areas as these would be more difficult to fill and sand.





Underneath the back is not that bad.





The front is not good but very fixable.





The front of the wing roots is the worst, but again, very fixable.

Filler by the qusrt? Those are fixable as you noted, but geez that's a lot of work. This is such an iconic aircraft - stick with it.
