Pay no mind to that bit of fiber that got in there for the photo…
Looks good Stik. I always have a can or two of compressed air/dust-off laying around for just such situation. Also works great for blowing out dust from up under your windscreen after you have attached it!

Now that is a great idea. I'm gonna have to see if I can score some of that....

It looks too fine to be from me, I think it’s a bit from some of the packing/padding fibers that I use… :hmm:

I can fire up my compressor to do some air blasting if need be. I have one of those sort of fittings… :hmm:

More progress!
Today I got the final interior sub assemblies added, some weight glued into the nose area, and the fuselage glued together

Of course I had to do a test fit of the wings…

And some close ups of the installed cockpit….

Next up some seam clean up and basic final assembly…

John & Mike, thank you. I’ll have more progress photos in a couple of weeks. Gonna revamp my garage on the 1st, so I have to shut down my work area this week….

Coming along nicely. My Trumpeter F-84F didn't survive the moves. I may do the Monogram after this great stuff.
Thanks,
John

Good progress Stik. Sure has nice lines. Love that coke bottle shape.
